"99 percent of [Netflix] employees contribute to Democrats"
"the founder of Barack Obama's DEI agenda"
"It seems as though you have engaged in creating not only a monopoly of content potentially, but the wokest content in the history of the world,"
"The overwhelming majority of your stuff right now is overwhelmingly woke, and it's not reflective of what the American public wants to see."
A Senate judiciary subcommittee review of Netflix's planned Warner Bros. acquisition was dominated by partisan cultural attacks rather than focused antitrust analysis. Republican senators accused Netflix of producing overwhelmingly "woke" content and alleged broad Democratic alignment among employees and board members. Claims included that nearly all employees donate to Democrats and criticism of a board member labeled as linked to a DEI agenda. Lawmakers also raised objections tied to celebrity statements and children’s programming. The proceeding prioritized culture-war grievances and outrage-generation over detailed examination of consolidation harms or competitive effects.
