It's all because of a film!

Earlier this week, Sony made the controversial call to cancel the release of its North Korea-set comedy The Interview over terroristic threats made by hackers. In a press conference today, President Obama called Sony's decision a "mistake."
"Sony is a corporation," said President Obama. "It suffered significant damage. There were threats against its employees. I am sympathetic to the concerns that they faced. Having said all that, yes, I think they made a mistake."
"We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States," he continued. "Because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they start doing when they see a documentary they don't like. Or news reports they don't like. Or even worse, imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of someone whose sensibilities probably need to be offended. That's not who we are. That's what America is about."
"Again, I'm sympathetic that Sony, as a private company, is worried about liabilities, and this, and that, and the other," Obama continued. "I wish they had spoken to me first. I would have told them, 'Do not get into a pattern in which you're intimidated by these kinds of criminal attacks.'" -
America “made a mistake” when it elected and reelected the criminal Clown prince nobama.
This from a guy who had the producer of a supposedly inflammatory anti-muslim movie jailed for incitement..
Remember, North Korea had help from its neighbor, China.
The truth is that, it would mostly be cyber attacking, nothing physical. North Korea is an issolated nation.
I would not be surprised if the movie will land up online.
They made a mistake, but did they act stupidly?
Took the words right out of my mouth / off my keyboard. :)
Then:
It's all because of a film!
Obama is so full of it
Well yeah, but that has little to do with the article
When did that happen?
cyberbill false flag event
In the wake of the Sony hack, both Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), the outgoing chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), the chair of the Senate’s panel, said Congress must pass a bill that will more easily allow the private and public sectors to share threat information, the likes of which may prevent future attacks from ever unfolding.
“This is only the latest example of the need for serious legislation to improve the sharing of information between the private sector and the government to help companies strengthen cybersecurity,” Sen. Feinstein said in a statement. “We must pass an information sharing bill as quickly as possible next .”
In October, Rep. Rogers said that the US government is in dire need of developing rules for waging offensive cyber operations, like the kind the president suggested could soon be launched against North Korea.
“This is a new dangerous form of warfare and international relations that, candidly, the United States, as a whole, is not prepared to handle,” Rogers said. “We are not prepared if the federal government decides that they want to take an offensive action or disruptive action in any significant way, even in response.”
