Watchdog Alleges Netflix Coordinated With FBI to Promote Leftwing Narratives
Same show, different day.
A new report alleges that the streaming giant Netflix has worked closely with federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in ways that amount to government-assisted propaganda.
The report released Tuesday by the Oversight Project, a government watchdog group, contends that the FBI, CIA, and the Defense Department (now the War Department) exercised influence over film and television productions — particularly those distributed by Netflix.
“Based on all publicly available evidence and analysis, Netflix appears to have an outsized role in socially engineering millions of Americans into a predisposition to accept preferred left-wing ideological dogma,” the Oversight Project report states.
“Netflix did so with the help of the federal government, especially the FBI, and intelligence community. In fact, the FBI plays an outsized active role in content moderation for projects it is involved in.”

“Far left ideologues and partisans are on the cusp of expanding and cementing control of the biggest political messaging tool in history: Fedflix,” Oversight Project President Mike Howell told The Daily Signal. “More Americans should know the consequences of this, which is why we are excited to release this report.”
Both the FBI and Netflix acknowledged email inquiries from The Daily Signal to comment on the story, but neither immediately replied for comment.
The report compares what is currently happening to a domestic version of Operation Mockingbird, a covert CIA effort to influence domestic media. The Church Committee, a Senate select committee that investigated covert federal actions, exposed aspects of that program in the 1970s.
The Oversight Project argues that the underlying infrastructure of the operation never disappeared.
“Congress never fully exposed Operation Mockingbird in its entirety,” the report says. “The infrastructure and relationships between the government and the entertainment industry that were established during this era never truly disappeared. Instead, …
