Conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager has become a YouTube success with his five-minute videos on politics, history, religion and culture. They’ve been viewed 2.5 billion times and he gets thousands of emails daily. About eighty percent are hosted by prominent experts that include prime ministers, Nobel Prize winners, professors and other credentialed authorities. Prager is an especially effective advocate for free speech, which has even required that he battle YouTube.
Dennis is justifiably proud of Prager U’s popularity and the quality of hosts it normally attracts. On a recent YouTube “Prager Fireside Chat” he complained that when critics denounce the videos as inaccurate, “they never give an example.” So, I’ll provide some. The recent Prager U video with Dr. Allen Guelzo on Reconstruction is not only inaccurate but also contains outright falsehoods. Guelzo claims that although white Southerners lost the War, they “won” Reconstruction by perpetuating a racist society.
