Summary

The left-wing media is threatened by the reach and influence of PragerU. Since their reporters cannot demonstrate any evidence of lies or misinformation, they resort to smear tactics. The New York Times and Newsweek are the most recent examples.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager and this is the Fireside Chat every week of the year.

0:06.7

It's amazing because I travel a lot but we're very dedicated to this. Thanks for being with me,

0:12.3

I'm in my home. That's Otto Needles to say. He can introduce me by now because he's so well known

0:18.4

and let's see, the usual, my fire, my dog, my study and it's completely unscripted. It's just a chance

0:28.2

to offer some thoughts spontaneously and take your questions. So why am I sitting with this?

0:35.5

Two big, maybe, things took place in this past week, one in Newsweek, which is, well, not here or

0:45.8

there, I'll talk about in a moment and the other is the New York Times. I'll start with the New

0:50.0

York Times, the New York Times on Sunday, the biggest edition it publishes, has a front page

0:57.6

huge front page article, starts on the front page on Prager U and there it is front page and

1:07.3

there's the article with the somewhat condescending headline. It's Fox, it's a Fox News for teenagers

1:16.4

in short videos. That was the way the New York Times could put us down in the headline because there's

1:24.0

no reference to Fox News once in the entire article or anything or anything analogous. But that's

1:30.0

what they've decided. It's very different, by the way, from the internet headline, which was what?

1:38.1

Do you remember what the internet headline is? It doesn't, anyway, it's just different. Be that as

1:42.4

it may. Look at how big the article is. I mean, it takes an entire giant page of the New York Times

1:48.2

with pictures of Prager U folks. And what am I going to say? To be perfectly honest with you,

2:00.0

it was certainly helpful to a Prager U. This is the fourth gigantic, I mean, really, as you see,

2:08.8

gigantic article on Prager U on a left wing or a left of center source, Buzzfeed,

2:18.8

Mother Jones, front page LA times and front page New York Times. And they try, they don't,

2:30.4

they're not happy with how influential we have become in the lives of so many people.

2:37.4

But there's, there's nothing they could say. Because we're very sophisticated. It's a very

2:43.5

sophisticated operation. It's on a very high intellectual and moral level. That's my intent. It's
