So, what you're saying is that if in 2010 a TV show put the same thing on screen but had Obama instead of Trump, that everyone would think it was ok?

- hannasanarion 7y agoYeah. TV shows where the bad guys are assassins or terrorists are not a new invention.
- komali2 7y agoYes, because the context was "the NSA should be concerned about these words." I think the NSA is concerned about the assassination of any president.
- sonnyblarney 7y agoNo, that doesn't absolve CBS. The words themselves are far too easily decontextualized by people, they have power on their own. CBS is hiding behind that, it's utterly inappropriate. The context would have to be glaringly and completely clear, basically explained, in order for it to be approaching 'ok'.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoBut, in the show, that context is glaringly and completely clear! There are two NSA employees looking at their list of NSA-provided words to determine whether they have cause to spy on a citizen. How could it be more clear?
