New York City radio personality known as Charlamagne Tha God.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ have been churning out woke leftist content\u200d for years now, and as a result, viewers have been\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disneys-dumpster-fire-movie-draws-lawsuit-alleged-dirty-trick-discovered-commercial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turning away<\/a> from their shows
