PragerU is the one funding advertisements with wild, baseless, and often scientifically dishonest "research". I don't recall traditional universities doing this. They firmly market themselves as "conservative intellectuals", telling you the "real truth" liberals won't recognize. I'd call that propaganda by definition.

why do you weirdo conservatives always talk like Ducktale villains? Anyway, I thought Candace Owens comments on nationalist socialism were just straight up insane, also their series defending creationism is completely hilarious.

Propaganda, according to Wikipedia: > Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] PragerU's "About Us" Page: > Prager University is the world's leading conservative nonprofit that is focused on changing minds through the creative use of digital media. Taking full advantage of today's technology and social media, we educate millions of Americans and young people about the values that make America great.[2] I'd also encourage you to check out their "What is PragerU"[3] brochure (PDF) which goes into more detail.
