Dear PragerU Supporter,

NewsGuard—one of the largest and most influential “fact-checkers” employed by Big Tech—is targeting PragerU! 

After labeling PragerU as misinformation, encouraging tech platforms to cancel us, warning users to “proceed with caution” before viewing our content, damaging our reputation, and costing us hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of dollars, NewsGuard refuses to leave us alone.

Political and corporate elites empower third-party fact-checkers like NewsGuard to censor companies they don’t like—companies like PragerU. Meanwhile, leftist, legacy media companies like the New York Times and NPR get near-perfect “credibility” ratings. 

So, who is behind NewsGuard, and why are they controlling what you can and cannot see?

NewsGuard is partnered with Big Tech companies (like Microsoft), Big Pharma (like the PR firm for Pfizer—the maker of the COVID vaccine), government agencies (like the Department of Defense), and even national teachers unions (like the American Federation of Teachers) “to combat disinformation, especially around COVID-19 and elections” according to the World Economic Forum. So, it’s no wonder NewsGuard doesn’t want open dialogue about COVID-19 and lockdowns.

They want to stop PragerU from exposing the truth.

Advisors to NewsGuard include former Directors of the CIA and other government agencies. Their partners, advisors, and staff overwhelmingly support left-wing causes. So, how can NewsGuard claim to be “independent” and call itself “The Internet Trust Tool”? 

If you’ve seen any of our videos, you know that PragerU is fiercely committed to the truth. But NewsGuard slapped us with a misinformation label just because they don’t want the public to hear what we have to say.

Here’s just one of many examples of how third-party fact-checkers like NewsGuard are hurting organizations like PragerU, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and The Babylon Bee: The company that used to host our videos, JW Player, informed us 18 months ago that they were not willing to work with us anymore. When we asked why, they said we had been blacklisted by NewsGuard and claimed our content was “misleading.” Suddenly, we had to devote considerable time and money to find a new video host. 

Now, NewsGuard is back, threatening to further harm us if we don’t comply with their long list of ridiculous demands.

We will not let NewsGuard and their cronies get away with this. We’re not going to let them suppress free speech, conceal information, and control what you can and cannot see, all while keeping you completely in the dark. 

There might be severe consequences for us for pushing against NewsGuard. But if we don’t do it, who will?

PragerU is taking a risk by fighting back against such powerful entities, and we need your help.

Third-party fact-checkers and their “partners” have all the money and all the power. But we have you. Donate now to help us expose NewsGuard.

This is David vs. Goliath. We know that God and the truth are on our side and will prevail. But we can’t do this alone. 

We’re willing to take the risk. 

We’re putting everything on the line. 

But we need your help. 

Please join in the fight and help us. 

Sincerely, 

Marissa Streit, PragerU CEO
