No, he's f#&%ing terrible. I've listened to his show quite a few times driving for work. It's aweful. He's a Trump Homer. He twists facts. Contorts the bible and Jewish scripture to support his own demented right wing agenda. For someone who supposedly preaches tolerance he's awfully intolerant and condescending of anything coming from "liberals". He's basically Rush Limbaugh without the drugs. Another in the long line of inflammatory media hosts we don't need.

You have to do a better job of vetting the stuff you form opinions based on - very little to none of it should be from opinion shows or shows that just make things up. The videos they produce are absolute drivel. If I disliked you I wouldn't care. Not saying you should care that I care, just explaining why I'm even posting about it. It's upsetting to see you post one of their videos as if it somehow backs anything up at all. Why do you find value in any of that?
I mean, I don't even try with TheSker because he literally adds nothing to any conversation he involves himself in. At least you make an attempt to argue your points.

Lol. How do you know where I get my information? PragerU isn't my main source of information intake. Probably isn't even in my top 10. I just find their videos interesting, and informative.... And obviously, a lot of what they say I agree with.
P.S. I like you too

I'm sure there's some good stuff in there, but the name sake behind it is not good....

Haven't listened to him much outside of the 3-4 minute videos I come across on FB/Twitter, most of the time he's not even in them. Hell, I don't go seeking the videos out. But, like I said, I like a lot of them.

I didn't say ALL of your info was PragerU, I just think it should stop being one of them. You shouldn't agree with what they're saying if it isn't backed up by facts, and I don't understand people who will just watch a show because it makes them feel better about their political opinions. People should be willing to change their mind on things based on facts. Maybe I'm the weird one here, I never watch TV except for football, I never watch political opinion shows, and political opinion articles probably make up < 5% of my reading. I think everyone would be a lot better off if they didn't watch any political opinion shows whatsoever, and researched things a thing like PragerU has created while watching them.

That's a pure misnomer. "The media" has always had biases because it's operated by humans. And it always will. People like to use it as some justification for the garbage places they get information (like PragerU, no offense intended). I'm not directly accusing you of that, and I'm not saying everything they produce is bad, but I've seen enough misguided content from them to believe they do not deserve to have a platform.
What people should be doing is getting their information from multiple sources (specific emphasis on the multiplicity of sources), particularly ones with solid reputations, and then forming opinions. We also need to do a better job of understanding the difference between actual journalism and editorialism. The latter has been twisted and warped through the decades to somehow appear like the former (think Hannity).
