This is how it starts. Thats scary

Exactly. I don't think the media is complying in advance. I think they were part of this all along and the mask is now being taken off. The media owners are mostly far right. They think that they don't need to hide anymore. They may well be right.

Gregg, you're right on point!!

Agreed. They waited until they were 100% sure he would be in the white house.

This is exactly how it starts . Scary yes but we can hit them where it hurts . Encourage your friends , colleagues and family to drop them stat!

Love the name Still Learning. Please contact me should you drop or change it! Haha.☮💙

Will do☺️

Hit 'em where it hurts ...their bank account!

Expand full comment

Yep 👍🏼 Doin it!! A slew of people dropping Netflix subscriptions will cause a lot more pain for these corrupt corporate leaders than just boycotting Bezos pet propaganda WaPo project which isn’t even really a money maker for him, but is apparently a tool to curry favor with the right Oligarchs and delude the average citizen!

Did you have to call or were you able to send an email to the Netflix CEO?

Expand full comment

Have had Netflix back when they were pretty much the only streaming service... CANCELLED right after I read this! Frankly, they have been at best mediocre for years. F*ck Netflix 😡😡😡

Expand full comment

Don't just cancel. Write them and tell them you did so and tell them WHY you did so.

Expand full comment

It would been nice to see that recommendation in Ben’s post, instead of or in addition to a plea for money.

Expand full comment

I will drop Netflix. I dropped Amazon Prime today, for contributing to the big rumps inauguration. And I no longer watch broadcast networks.

Expand full comment

Done! And shared.

Expand full comment

Yes, indeed! I cancelled WAPO, Disney and ACT BLUE donations to a certain CA senator for the way he undercut Biden publicly. I'll use Amazon only if there's no viable alternative. We have votes and our pockets to leverage.

Expand full comment

I believe my Netflix is coming up for removal

Expand full comment

Our first amendment is on the line!

Expand full comment

Let’s go ! Spread the word . And how about Amazon Prime while we’re at it ? Bezos paid 40 million to Melania for a stupid documentary about her stupid life ?!!!!

And my hope is that no self respecting Democrat or female will spend a dime to watch it.

Dropping my Netflix subscription after reading this.

Expand full comment

Anyone who had not already done so, cancel your Netflix subscription. I had canceled mine earlier. It no longer serves my viewing needs.

Expand full comment

Already done it! I don't need there so called "Entertainment " they can go pound sand and kick rocks!

Expand full comment

Good for you! They gone learn. But we have to start boycotting them.

Expand full comment

I dropped Netflix year or more ago!!

Expand full comment

I never watch it. Total crap

Expand full comment

Seems to me that they have much more good movies and series than most others. Wonder how that happened,,

Expand full comment

The only reason I have it is because it’s part of my phone plan with my provider. And it’s the free version. I wouldn’t pay for netflix if they paid me. They’ve lost all credibility.

Expand full comment

AGREED

Expand full comment

Oh! but Stranger Things is comin back!

Expand full comment

May be time to cancel my Netflix subscription. Not like there aren’t other streaming options out there that are probably cheaper anyway. Good to know they support MAGA. I had no idea.

Expand full comment

Maybe we need to send a message to Netflix…Unsubcribe🤔?

Expand full comment

Already did!!

Expand full comment

Great! Now write them and tell them why you are canceling it.

Expand full comment

I just canceled my service to.

Expand full comment

Just cancelled Netflix!

I have zero tolerance for any organization that denies honest reporting to protect a criminal.

Expand full comment

Write to them and tell them why you are canceling it. Don't let them wonder. They need to hear from the angry masses. Trump voters get attention because they are a loud bunch. Being quiet helps nothing.

Expand full comment

Did that. They ask why when you select Cancel Membership on Netflix.com.

Expand full comment

I’ve also cancelled YouTube TV (for cable news) the NYT, WashPost, FB, and Instagram. Joined Substack, Bluesky and follow Meidas on YouTube for my news.

Meidas monitors court dockets 24/7, then downloads, shares and explains the filings and decisions. Meidas also shares video of the criminal speaking as well as shows copies of his posts so you can see the garbage as it’s made by Donny Convict.

Reporting doesn’t get any cleaner than that.

I gave up all my stuff like that too I do still have Hulu and a couple of other options but I'm not the one watching them we're watching antenna TV on it's an Oxygen Channel that just shows murder all day that's what I watch because that's the only thing worth being on the entire television anymore unless I have it on YouTube if I could afford the other part of YouTube where I could get all my Meidas stuff without commercials I would because I support Meidas a million percent at the hospital last night as sick as I was I was talking about how great they were and had new people going to look them up so you guys I hope you get some new followers and I do as much as I can to spread what you do I may not have the money but I can talk to people about it and tell him what great reporters you are and how good you are at your jobs and the rest of us would like to thank you guys for everything you do because without you guys we wouldn't know anything Meidas Touch handles so much that no one else does

Expand full comment

YouTube Premium is a steal if you want to watch pretty much anything without commercials. Worth every penny. I'm a true crime freak--highly recommend Grizzly True Crime channel AND Meidas Touch True Crime, too.

Expand full comment

It would be if we could afford it but we can't really afford any of the things we only have internet because that's how the kids do school otherwise we wouldn't have that

Expand full comment

I am already subscribed. How else can I help? Write to Netflix? Cancel my subscription to Netflix? I’m canceling a lot of my accounts these days because I just can’t support companies that cower to, or worse fawn over, trump.

Expand full comment

Me too ! We should compile a list of which ones to cancel . I’m losing track . ALSO, who to support in all arenas .

Expand full comment

Is there a way to "send a message" to Netflix by signing up to cancel en masse, and let them know why we are cancelling????

Otherwise, they won't get any particular message at all.

Expand full comment

Great idea about the list....if you could share what you know I would love to unsubscribe if I am subscribed. I just unsubscribed from Netflix but not a big deal as I never watched them....so many others that are way above their service....britbox being one:)

Expand full comment

Yes - boycott the big ones -- but what is left? The shunting of our antitrust and consumer protection laws opened the door for big business to achieve market domination to eliminate local brick-and-mortar or lesser-known retailers. Unfortunately, it is only the local stores that care about the QUALITY OF LIFE of their customers. There's no incentive for the high-volume sellers to do that because they, and we, are anonymous. ;-(

Join Costco if you have a membership @ Sam's club... Costco just REITERATED that they WILL NOT cancel their DEI program... they are not chumper humpers! FYI

Expand full comment

Yes write to Netflix

Expand full comment

It is so hard to find any corporation now that doesn't support republicans, even if they support both parties. Maybe finding those that do not support any political party is the answer? Lobbying corporations that have streaming services to publicly state they no longer donate to political parties or politically motivated charities?

Expand full comment

Get the App “Goods Unite Us” download it, you’ll see.

Expand full comment

Yes, download the Goods Unite Us app! It’s excellent and shows who the corporations donate to - Dems or Republicans and the extent of their campaign contributions.

Expand full comment

I have used them, but no media streaming platforms are free of donating to Republicans that I can find.

Expand full comment

Today I discovered on “Goods Unite Us” app that just about every company I do business with donates to Republicans and has low Campaign Finance Reform scores; Lowes, Allstate, Verizon, Ace Hardware, Petco, all of my credit cards and mortgage company. They definitely still have Disney and Amazon and META as pro democrat. Even those who donate more to democrats and have better campaign finance reform scores donate to republicans so it probably takes a while for the list to catch up now companies are pandering to trump. These are the few Blue (overall) though:

Target

Paramount

YouTube

Old Navy

Hawaiian Airlines

Expand full comment

Maga is revvin' up to boycott Costco cuz they refuse to dismantle their DEI program... cancel Sam's &join Costco!

Expand full comment

But that app says Netflix only supports the democratic party. So it is still confusing.

Expand full comment

That's what I just saw. So, WTF good is that site if it's not accurate?

Expand full comment

Amen!!!

Expand full comment

What is it?

Expand full comment

It is exactly what Donna described

Expand full comment

Yes, canceling Netflix is the best option. Hit them where it hurts them most, their wallets. Spread it around to anyone you know who doesn't want to associate with MAGA that Netflix is pro MAGA and encourage them to also cancel their subscriptions, too.

Expand full comment

Just cancel

It’s Trump’s minions trying to stop you. 😵‍💫🤬

Most definitely!! But, we the Meidas Mighty will and can fight back! Cancel Netflix subscription and pass the word on!!

We're here for you Ben, we've got your back!!

Ok I cancelled my subscription to Wash Post for not endorsing Kamala, cancelled my YouTube subscription to unfox my TV, avoid Walmart, changed from X to Bluesky and now this?! I'm exhausted

Expand full comment

You don't need them! Get a digital TV antenna and use YouTube for free. You'll have more energy as a result, and freedom!

Expand full comment

Yes. I’m old and on limited income and use utube for MTN and other news and movies. I hardly use the tv😆. Antenna works fine, when I need it.

But saving money by canceling subscriptions.

Netflix is in the orange hippo's back pocket next to his dirty diaper and if they blocked Midas Touch for that then they better start doing that to all the tic Tok videos going around about it and Netflix allowed the Rock to drink and showed him driving and they showed Travis Scott smoking a blunt bitch at them about that Ben.

Then block Netflix! The hell with these people! It’s all such a joke to begin with! How can we the people expect a criminal to defend the constitution? Trump is a despicable human being… scum in fact! It’s a shame and disgrace for him to be allowed to run for office. He’s unqualified to hold office at any level, much less president of the United States! God save us from him 🇺🇸

Expand full comment

I just canceled my subscription. In the box where it asked specifically why I canceled , I wrote : because Netflix censored The Meidas Touch Network and they’re my go to New Source .

Expand full comment

Thanks! I was hoping they'd ask for a reason.

Great job! I am glad you wrote that. Our voices need to be heard and they need to know why, not just let them speculate.

I told you Americans your country is now the Banana Republic of the United States, as much as I hate to say this as a Canadian citizen I visited Washington state quite often but that ended the day the orange haired sexual predator with a spray tan and the brainwashed brain dead maggot Republican cult members won the election. I'm 100% sure that most people in the civilized western world will avoid your country like the plague. Now he wants to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America 🤬 who the fuck does he think he is Napoleon 🙄 so disrespectful to the whole world it makes me and everyone else 🤮 🤡

We’re sticking with Meidas. We don’t subscribe to Netflix as they don’t have anything we want to watch anyway. Plenty of options without them.

Expand full comment

This is what is going to keep happening, now that Dump is in office. He’s taking over the media. That’s the first step of Dictatorship. The reason we lost the election wasn’t because Harris started it late, it’s because extreme far right billionaires own so many media outlets. They’ve been pummeling Americans for decades, and were ruthless during this election. 🤬

Expand full comment

Yes, he is/will take over the media. This is frightening.

Expand full comment

No actually it was hacked, we definitely won.

Expand full comment

Not my belief about the election. This country is still very racist, and sexist to boot. All other excuses are just trying to cover that up. Then, hacking is also a reasonable suspicion about that election because it has EM's initials all over it.

Expand full comment

Nothing on Netflix that’s worth watching for me. We haven’t had it in a long time. I am happy about that.
