It’s funny, with free streaming options, we’ve watched old TV shows going back to the 70’s, and there would be an episode here and there with a propaganda message where you knew it was forced on the production. It started to pick up with more forced episodes in the 80’s, and some shows in the 2000’s had several episodes to where we’d have to skip the worst ones even though it is fun to analyze and mock what they’re doing. And as highlighted, this was exposed in hearings in the 70’s, but never actually stopped. And you can see by Susan Rice being on the board (the Obama’s were paid millions to produce content too), the directives come down to producers forced to include propaganda messaging or they won’t pay for their shows. And the sheeple who can’t think for themselves just lap it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report alleges that the streaming giant Netflix<\/a> has worked closely with federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in ways that amount to government-assisted propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report released Tuesday by the Oversight Project, a government watchdog group, contends that the FBI<\/a>, the CIA, and the Defense Department (now the War Department<\/a>) exercised influence over film and television productions\u2014particularly those distributed by Netflix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased 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,\u201d the Oversight Project report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNetflix 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FEDFLIX INTERIM REPORT
The Weaponization of Entertainment for Partisan Propaganda

The radical left stands to expand and cement control over the most powerful political and ideological messaging machine in human history.

Read our report on Netflix’s relationship with the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/42yv7qeisQ<\/a>\u2014 Oversight Project (@ItsYourGov) January 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The report frames modern entertainment as similar to Cold War-era<\/a> propaganda programs. The difference, according to the report, is that current propaganda aims to advance a domestic left-leaning political agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe intended purpose is no longer to combat a foreign enemy or communist ideology,\u201d the report contends. \u201cTo the contrary, the purpose is social engineering to advance extremist ideology and the preferred narratives of the FBI and intelligence community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watchdog group says documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show \u201cconcrete evidence of the FBI\u2019s systematic involvement in entertainment production, including Netflix content.\u201d It adds, \u201cThese documents reveal formalized, contractual arrangements granting FBI editorial control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFar-left ideologues and partisans are on the cusp of expanding and cementing control of the biggest political messaging tool in history: Fedflix,\u201d Oversight Project President Mike Howell told The Daily Signal. \u201cMore Americans should know the consequences of this, which is why we are excited to release this report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the FBI and Netflix acknowledged email inquiries from The Daily Signal to comment on the story, but neither immediately replied for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oversight Project argues that the underlying infrastructure of the operation never disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongress never fully exposed Operation Mockingbird in its entirety,\u201d the report says. \u201cThe infrastructure and relationships between the government and the entertainment industry that were established during this era never truly disappeared. Instead, analysis of all available evidence indicates they evolved to operate out of the public\u2019s view and adapted to new media landscapes like we see today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also notes, \u201cDirector of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard<\/a> publicly confirmed in July 2025 that Operation Mockingbird-type activities never ended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oversight Project report focuses heavily on the FBI\u2019s Office of Public Affairs, particularly a unit known as the \u201cLong Form Team,\u201d which it describes as the bureau\u2019s \u201cpropaganda office.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin the FBI\u2019s Office of Public Affairs, the Long Form Team reviews scripts, suggesting and even requiring changes at times, and maintains ongoing relationships with writers, producers, studios and streaming platforms,\u201d the report says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report asserts that the FBI \u201cmaintains ongoing relationships with Netflix and other studios and production houses,\u201d and \u201cuses American taxpayer dollars to fund their programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the report says, the FBI required advanced approval of interview clips and script elements. One agreement for an \u201cUntitled 9\/11 Project\u201d airing on Netflix required FBI approval of certain aspects of the production, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond government collaboration, the report argues that Netflix\u2019s content library reflects a bias against President Donald Trump, and a \u201cleft-wing ideological orientation,\u201d based on an artificial intelligence-powered survey of Netflix\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile not comprehensive, the survey results make clear that the volume of content favoring left-wing and progressive trends dominates content that is conservative or critical of progressive trends,\u201d the report says. \u201cContent that discusses Trump-era politics skews 11:1 against President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listing personnel, the report described co-CEO Ted Sarandos and co-founder Reed Hastings as each being a \u201cmajor Democratic donor.\u201d Also, President Barack Obama\u2019s former national security adviser, Susan Rice, is on the Netflix board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As remedies, the Oversight Project calls for congressional investigations, new legislation restricting government-media collaboration, and an antitrust review of Netflix. It also urges lawmakers to defund public affairs offices at federal agencies that work with Hollywood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFormally end funding for Office of Public Affairs coordination with Hollywood at FBI, CIA, and DOD,\u201d the report recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGovernment is unaccountable when it has the ability to stream propaganda at the public on whose legitimacy representative government is based,\u201d the report says. \u201cWhen government and media merge to shape narratives, manipulate public opinion, and engineer social change, the foundations of free society crumble.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
