reach out to corporations or organizations that have self-censored, just like the reaction to the Interview affair

Created by K.L. on April 01, 2015

The Administration chose to comment about movie theater chain's decisions not to show the movie "The Interview".
However, there are other similar situations that The Administration has chosen not to comment on.
An example is Comedy Central's decision to censor episodes of "South Park" that may have been offensive to Muslims, also based on Terrorist threats. Even, though this is an old event, the President should follow the same course of action that he did in regards to "The Interview"Even though this case is offensive, the constitution provides for freedom of speech.
Therefore, in all cases of people,corporations or organizations self-censoring because of threats, the President should reassure them as he did in regards to "The Interview", hoping that the involved will listen.
