‘The Good Fight’ Image Of NSA List Stirs Controversy
< < Go Back
UPDATED MONDAY WITH CBS All ACCESS STATEMENT: CBS All-Access’ The Good Wife spinoff series, The Good Fight, tweeted an image Friday from its episode The One Where Diane Joins The Resistance, showing a list of “target words.” Topping the list are the words, “Assassinate,” “President” and “Trump” in the red column, while leading the second, orange column are “Eliminate” and “Mar-a-Lago.”
The tweet, which did not provide context for the list, asked viewers if they spotted the Easter egg. Likely because “Assassinate President Trump” is the first thing one reads scrolling down, many Twitter users were not amused, some of them threatening to contact the Secret Service. In fact, we’ve learned that the Easter egg reference was to Kalinda, a popular character from The Good Wife, whose name is in the second column. The tweet has since been deleted.
“A social media post for The Good Fight displayed show content that, when presented in isolation, outside of the context of the show, created an impression and provoked a reaction that was not intended,” a spokesperson for CBS All Access said in a statement Monday, calling the out-of-context posting “regrettable.”
