Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos found himself in the hot seat Tuesday as Senate Republicans relentlessly hammered him over his company's relentless push of woke ideology and transgender content during a congressional hearing on Netflix's proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) led the charge, directly confronting Sarandos about Netflix's shameless promotion of transgender ideology to children and families. The Missouri senator didn't pull any punches, forcing the Netflix executive to defend his platform's decision to prioritize radical left-wing content over quality entertainment.

This grilling comes at a crucial time as Netflix seeks approval for what would be a massive media consolidation. But Republicans aren't about to rubber-stamp a deal that would give even more power to a company that has spent years poisoning American culture with its woke garbage.

"Netflix has become a propaganda machine for the radical left, and now they want even more control over what Americans watch," a congressional source told reporters after the hearing.

For too long, streaming giants like Netflix have operated without accountability, using their platforms to indoctrinate viewers with progressive ideology while claiming they're just providing "entertainment." From transgender storylines targeting kids to anti-American programming, Netflix has made its political agenda crystal clear.

The timing couldn't be better for this accountability moment. With President Trump back in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress, the days of Big Tech and Big Media operating without oversight are over. These companies thought they could push their woke agenda indefinitely, but they're about to learn that the American people have had enough.

Sarandos squirmed as he tried to defend the indefensible - his company's deliberate effort to normalize radical gender ideology and leftist politics. But Republicans weren't buying his corporate doublespeak for a second.

This merger hearing represents more than just business regulation - it's about whether we'll allow woke corporations to further consolidate their stranglehold on American entertainment and culture. Patriots should be watching this closely, because the outcome will determine whether our children continue to be bombarded with leftist propaganda disguised as entertainment.

Netflix used to be about entertainment, now it's all social engineering. Every original series has to check diversity boxes instead of focusing on good storytelling. This is exactly why their stock has been tanking.

Couldn't agree more. When politics becomes more important than plot, you lose your audience.

YES! Make them squirm!

Finally! Someone is holding Netflix accountable for pushing their leftist propaganda on families. We cancelled our subscription two years ago when every show became about gender ideology and woke talking points.

Same here! Switched to Daily Wire+ and haven't looked back. At least they produce content that aligns with traditional values.

About time Sarandos got grilled on this! Does anyone know if this merger hearing will actually lead to any real changes in their content policies?
