The media has been working to normalize pedophilia, but the American people keep rejecting it. Until recently, the pedophilia pushers suffered no serious consequences for their relentless campaign to sexualize children and groom them for adult exploitation. But the recent indictment of Netflix for distribution of child pornography has changed the dynamics. A grand jury in Texas has indicted Netflix, a streaming giant with $20 billion in annual revenue, for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” of a child. The indictment claims that “Cuties,” Netflix’s much-hyped film, “depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or...
