TBS host Samantha Bee went on a tear against the conservative media outlet “Prager University” Wednesday night over the site’s growing influence.
Bee aimed PragerU founder Dennis Prager over his “weird beliefs,” such as claiming that “to the left, the primary purpose of art, sculpture and music is to shock,” which is why much of modern art is “meaningless” and involves “urine and feces.”
PragerU uses conservative personalities, the likes of Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, and Fox News personalities such as Tucker Carlson and Greg Gutfeld, to make short YouTube videos.
The website, though billed at a university, does state “PragerU is not a university, nor do we claim to be. We do not offer degrees,” and adds in all caps at the bottom of the site, “Prager University is not an accredited academic institution.”
Bee blasted the conservative site in her deep-dive monologue on her TBS show Full Frontal, saying PragerU presents some “truly batshit ideas.”
“PragerU is actually dangerous, they are reaching a new young audience with bullshit conservative propaganda, they trick kids into thinking their videos are educational,” Bee continued.
UPDATE: PragerU’s CMO Craig Strazzeri told Mediaite, “Samantha Bee did get a couple things right. PragerU is reaching millions of young people. And we are dangerous, to the left.”
On Twitter, Bee continued by likening the so-called university to “Monsters
Prager U responded to Bee, seeking to turn the roast into a fundraising opportunity for the company.
