Please see a special message from our sponsor. Dear PragerU Supporter, Big Tech’s campaign to silence PragerU never sleeps. A few months ago, video hosting company JW Player refused to renew our contract to host videos—on PragerU’s own website! Later, we found out who was responsible for JW Player dropping PragerU as a client…online “fact-checker” NewsGuard. NewsGuard calls itself “The Internet Trust Tool.” It supposedly rates news websites for credibility and transparency. Even though PragerU is an educational nonprofit—not a news website—NewsGuard rated us anyway! Give Today to Help STOP Fact-Checkers from Censoring PragerU!Donate to help PragerU fight big tech censorship!PragerU’s scorecard (57 points out of 100) warning viewers to “proceed with caution”: Corporations, social media companies—even libraries—handsomely pay these third-party online nannies to label anything the left disagrees with as “fake news.” Hiding behind fact-checkers, they then deplatform or censor organizations like PragerU…taking zero responsibility for censorship! Upon learning of our abysmal rating that led to JW Player dropping PragerU as a client, PragerU CEO Marissa Streit contacted NewsGuard. « I am writing today to bring your attention to an urgent matter that I assume is a mistake by NewsGuard. Sadly, this mistake is damaging PragerU’s reputation and costing our nonprofit millions of dollars. »—Marissa Streit, PragerU CEO Marissa spoke with NewsGuard executive Eric Effron. He assured her that NewsGuard is unbiased and protects Americans from disinformation. Curiously, Eric didn’t seem to know much about PragerU (even though NewsGuard had already given us a bad rating). Over the next month, NewsGuard asked PragerU questions under the guise of improving our score. NewsGuard inquired about everything from why we don’t publish our donors’ names (which we would NEVER do) to our perspectives on COVID-19 and Planned Parenthood. Regardless of the facts and sources PragerU provided, our score wasn’t changed. They never intended to be fair. Clearly, NewsGuard simply thinks our values and ideas shouldn’t exist online. « The chain of emails we’ve exchanged with you and your team has exposed your organization for what it is—an online media bully run by wealthy left-wing activists pushing their agenda. »—Marissa Streit, PragerU CEO This reality is…fact-checkers like NewsGuard are the political elite’s tool for censorship. Funded by giant corporations protecting their power and bottom lines, these self-appointed “Arbiters of Truth” are determining what is true and what is false. Is this the America you want to live in? Donate to help PragerU fight big tech censorship!PragerU is exposing NewsGuard and other fact-checkers for what they are…authoritarian oligarchs who monetized censorship to keep YOU from learning the facts and thinking for YOURSELF. PragerU needs your support to educate millions of young people about what’s really at stake—Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Information. At the same time, PragerU must diversify our platforms and develop alternative technologies to ensure Big Tech tyrants can’t silence patriotic voices. This is a time consuming and expensive endeavor! We need our loyal supporters to stand by us and give generously. We cannot do this alone. Please give today to keep our videos reaching and changing millions of young minds! Your PragerU Team
