It's called "performative outrage" and one of the many reasons I stopped listening to Tom Martino's show.

Dennis Prager Hurt in Fall

Who is Tom Martino? That's a name I'm not familiar with.
Dude, misinformation is a hallmark of PragerU. Stop trying to defend, because it's not working.
As for Carl Jackson, his histrionics are probably the main reason he will stay on Salem's bench and never go national full-time. He really needs to pipe it down.

Thank you for sharing. I've watched a number of PragerU videos and have found them to be informational and truthful. Lots of people, from many walks of life, narrate videos for PragerU. I like the history of U.S. Presidents that can be found there.
As for Carl Jackson, I agree with you that "he really needs to pipe it down".
If it’s who I think it is, Martino is/was a consumer crusader out of Denver who got off blasting people/companies he investigated. He made Dave Ramsey seem kind.
Yeah that’s him
But now I am hearing Dennis is paralyzed because of his fall. Very sad. Hopefully it's not permanent.
Correct, confirmed by his brother.
Dennis Prager Update From His Brother Dr. Kenneth Prager (Pulmonologist) - Luke Ford
Ken Prager's son Joshua, a journalist and author, had a similar C3-C4 spinal cord accident to Dennis's accident. Joshua was 19, hurt in a car accident in Israel, and he was initially a quadriplegic. Now he's just paralyzed on his left side. Dennis and Kenneth's father had a similar spinal cord...

Why don't you just listen to something else? There are tons of shows out there.
Prager supporters have received some updates. Most recently, a robocall was made in which Dennis addresses his supporters. For more detail, go to the News/Talk forum here.
I've mostly seen him on TV and heard him on radio once in a while and he's not really my cup of tea but as far as most radio people go in the "religion" field but he seems to be pretty level headed as far as not screaming that "everyone is going to hell if you don't think like I do or do what I say" type of nut job.
Dennis Prager is a deep thinker, with well thought out takes that can be unique. His mature demeanor is another plus.
He's an observant Jew who understands, and supports, the importance of Christianity to the United States. His talk show topics primarily cover the news of the day.

I’ve found that about most conservatives radio shows that are hosted by a deeply observant person in their faith. The hell & brimstone guys are mostly preachers first, commentators second.
That could be because he's Jewish, and they don't believe in Hell. Although to appease his largely evangelical Christian audience, Prager rarely talks about his own faith, and just groups it under the "Judeo-Christian" label.
Actually, Mr. Prager spends a good amount of time, at least, mentioning his Jewish faith. He mentions his books on The Tora and how to get them. He's explained Jewish traditions on his show like when he's taking a day off due to a Jewish holiday. When he does his once-per-week "Ultimate Issues Hour", his Faith occasionally is part of the discussion. It is true, however, that he does use the Judeo-Christian label as well.
I learned that he was an observant Jew because he said so on his show.
He can say whatever he wants, but there's a lot of antisemitism among conservatives, and they often point to the owners of media and movie companies as being part of a conspiracy. His view that one religion "produced America" flies in the face of the many religions that existed in the colonies, the religious persecution those people experienced, and why the first amendment was written to prevent a national religion. A lot of what he's saying there fits with the white nationalists who want to ban other religions.
