So a private corporation funded redistricting measures (read: voter suppression) and a Governor who has terrorized the homeless, trans, and disabled populations throughout his tenure.
Then the corp purchased a former Public Access children’s education show that was first privatized by HBO after the Trump administration’s initial round of funding cuts (that Newsom et al. did not fix, supplement, re-codify, or protect from future austerity measures). Their private acquisition of public media is somehow an act of benevolence because not all content will be locked behind a subscription paywall.
And your final conclusion is to continue bankrolling Netflix, said multi-billion dollar media corp, with an established history of financially supporting white nationalists, anti-human rights comedians, bigoted content, and destroying independent media studios/creators while violating their employees’ civil/labor rights and spawning a streaming monopoly.
