Analysis / Bias
DennisPrager.com exhibits a far-Right Bias due to its strong promotion of conservative values and frequent criticism of progressive policies and ideologies. Content on the website focuses heavily on topics such as free speech, religion, traditional family values, and critiques of liberal policies. Articles and podcasts, such as “The Left Destroys Everything It Touches, Part 47: Metropolitan Museum Goes Full Woke,” and “Woke Policies are Infecting College Students,” reflect a consistent ideological alignment with right-wing perspectives.
The site promotes PragerU’s content, which has faced criticism for presenting partisan perspectives and frequently misleading information. For example, PragerU videos on topics like climate change and immigration have been flagged by fact-checkers for inaccuracies (see shortlist below).
While most of the content on DennisPrager.com reflects Prager’s personal opinions and conservative ideology, it lacks significant balance and often frames progressive ideas in a negative light.
