Of course, because they feel threatened about the masses getting an education in humanity. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Did they haul Paramount?

Women getting to vote was woke, integrated schools were woke, interracial marriage was woke, unmarried women getting a credit card was woke. Spending your life being mad about progress that's going to happen no matter how much you fight it is a terrible deal.

It's a shakedown for campaign donations, folks. Relax. You know the process by now.

Yet Disney was allowed to buy up Hulu, Fox, Marvel, Lucasfilm - large swaths of American entertainment which shapes culture - yet Netflix is too big and woke.

> Netflix is facing a competing bid from Paramount Skydance, run by CEO David Ellison, the son of President Donald Trump’s close ally and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.

I'm totally sure this is all about the great concern over anti-trust, woke, and trans ideologies and nothing to do with blatant cronyism. This administration is a joke.
