They're planning their future indoctrination systems as we speak.  The Obama leftists are merely "paving the way" for when they win back their power over this nation.  They're counting on it, in fact.  It's just a matter of time ....and a matter of the effectiveness of their propaganda machine.  Sadly, I'm betting they're correct in their assumptions.

It depends on what you're looking to watch.

The kind of stuff Netflix puts out (movies and scripted TV series) really doesn't interest me. I like live sports now and then, but I'll never pay subscription money to watch it. (I pay enough for Internet access as it is; most of my favorite teams I can find on the radio anyway, so the visual's nice but not totally necessary.)

If Obama really was sincere he would have bought Al Jazeera TV last year.  Truth in advertising and all.

Campaign contributor helped Obamas score Netflix deal
By Isabel Vincent
May 26, 2018 | 4:48pm

Barack and Michelle Obama are raking in the cash, thanks to the influence of a former campaign supporter.

The couple last week signed a creative production deal with Netflix that one entertainment-industry source said could be valued at more than $50 million.

Ted Sarandos, a major campaign contributor for Obama and the streaming giant’s creative-content chief who oversees an $8 billion budget, helped to broker the deal, the source told The Post.  ...

1. @netflix - a company being taken over & transformed into a propaganda platform for liberal progressives - modern day totalitarians.  And utter hypocrites. The downfall of @netflix will be a lesson for corporate America. We will get to watch it. Let me explain.

How it works: Netflix exec & wife bundle big donations to Obama in '08. Wife is rewarded with ambassadorship. Now Netflix exec steers $50m contract to Obamas through 'Higher Ground Productions.'

2. This company has made some disturbing decisions in the last 18 months. Much focus has been on the corrupt deal with the Obama's, secured via their relationship with Ted Sarandos & Nicole Avant.
3. But also don't forget the insane decision to offer a directorship to one of Obama's police state thugs, Susan Rice, on 28 March 2018
4. See, these people are so ARROGANT. A normal board of directors would reject Rice and never commit to an Obama deal. Why? Because there's a better than even chance, Obama will be indicted for crimes. Rice almost certainly will be. Associating with them is MADNESS.
5. BUT then again, perhaps the @netflix board has gone mad. Many liberals refuse to accept that Trump is POTUS - and that he is doing extremely well. They also simply deny that Obama (& Clinton) could have done anything wrong. They're incapable of accepting REALITY.

This goes beyond the politics of it all. The concept itself is flawed. Most millennials are not interested in politics or another 'hate Whitey' Black grievance show. Also, the Obamas are not as popular nationally as the NeverTrump Liberals think they are, even in the Black community.

Regardless of the obvious politics of it, it doesn't make simple business sense. Oh well, economic darwinism at work. Business is neither cruel nor compassionate, Liberal nor Conservative, business just is what it is, always.

The Obatards and most of the entertainment culture view everything through the prism of politics.  To them, politicizing the product just makes good business sense.  It's more important than the bottom line.

Well, I never did a poll, but most of my liberal family and friends still regard the Obamas as heroes.  And I know the younger generation is being indoctrinated as to how great a president Obama was.  There is even a high school here named after Obama. 

You would think that Netflix might have learned something from Penney's attempt to cater to a particular political group (yes, the LGBTQRSTUVs are a political group) to the exclusion of everyone else.  I suspect that this move is going to backfire on Netflix big time.

Netflix Exec: Productions From the Obamas Will Not Have a ‘Political Slant’
By Todd Spangler   

Netflix has inked a multiyear deal with the Obamas for original programming — but the content from the former First Couple will not have any political bias, according to chief content officer Ted Sarandos.

“This is not The Obama Network,” said Sarandos, speaking Tuesday at the Paley Center for Media in New York. “There’s no political slant to the programming.”

Sarandos was interviewed journalist Ken Auletta at the event. Noting that the Netflix exec is a Democrat, Auletta asked what he would say to Republicans about Netflix’s seeming push to the political left — including the appointment of former Obama adviser Susan Rice to its board.

“Umm, wait for the programming,” Sarandos responded.  ...

Sarandos in particular has a close relationship with the Obamas. His wife, Nicole Avant, served as U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas in President Obama’s first term in office.  ...

Where is that BS meter.

The whole network is infested with Obama Lackies. Starting with that Susan Rice who Roseanne Barr called “a man with big swinging ape balls.” .
