W.H. backs right-wing PragerU ("helped launch careers of right-wing figures like Candace Owens") as PBS "replacement" [View all]
The White House has backed a right-wing educational partner to replace PBS after congressional Republicans effectively killed off the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The publicly funded entity will shut down after Congress clawed back $500 million of federal funding in President Donald Trump's massive tax-and-spending law, but the White House announced a new partnership with the nonprofit PragerU, which specializes in right-leaning educational videos for adults and children, reported Vox.
"Since its founding in 2009, PragerU has become a juggernaut in the conservative educational media space, with their videos reaching millions of followers across social media," the website reported. "The organization has helped launch the media careers of right-wing figures like Candace Owens. Their popular videos elevate narratives that have been sharply criticized as climate denialist, Islamophobic, and 'misleading' about slavery."
