now the online entertainment giant netflix may pay daily for a high profile new appointment customers are threatening to cancel their subscriptions after president obama's national security adviser susan rice joined the board of directors artesia bigger explains why the movie is facing such a backlash. susan rice is a big name in washington she served under presidents clinton and obama and was a u.n. ambassador slowly but surely working her way up the white house ladder and during barack obama's second term in office it looked like rice would likely become his secretary of state until she was forced to withdraw her name following the ongoing controversy related to the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi rice had made inaccurate public claims that the attack wasn't premeditated what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in benghazi spun from there into something much much more violent rice was later forced to eat her words and admit they were in fact planned causing
10:22 am
a massive backlash against her so she stepped back settling instead for national security adviser a tale as old as time really well if you're not secretary of state that's what i want that's all i wanted that's what i was promised and here i am and now it looks like rice is ready to netflix and chill with the streaming giant who announced that rice is coming on board on wednesday netflix co-founder and c.e.o. would hastings put out a statement welcoming rice to the team saying that the company will benefit from her years of tackling complex global issues now netflix is the world's leading entertainment service and according to their site they have around one hundred seventeen million users and over one hundred ninety countries and are continuing to expand their reach which with rice's help could have a more political spin to it and while it's not yet clear what a lifetime politician will bring to a media company the naysaying has begun already with many users calling for a boycott of the service hey netflix i've been
10:23 am
a customer since day one that's just changed you must be absolutely insane to think that americans would you adding susan rice as a board member who priced your bonnets into liberals can keep you in business. if anybody wants to boycott something because of an individual's actions i suggest boycotting netflix if a crew from netflix is filming and comes under attack what is she going to blame it on a film just cancelled my netflix membership reason susan rice they can have her but not me this is where our family takes a hard bass we're canceling netflix altogether our kid will be better off instead of watching him chilling he'll be reading and waking up but brown fate shouldn't be surprising that rice is making the jump from politics to entertainment we've already seen her former boss appear as a guest on a netflix show and rumors have been running rampant that the obama's may be in talks to produce a series starring the dynamic duo raising concerns over where the company is headed
10:24 am
. ok let's get the thoughts now with tom brooks he's professor of law in government and dean to the case there are more school and you're very welcome tom what do you make of this were you surprised that there's been such a backlash. i think that i am somewhat surprised to see a big backlash like this you have lots of high profile figures from politics and policy go into entertainment circles journalism as well and back back into politics from that area to so there's something kind of particularly unique about the someone from that kind of background working in that area that seems to be kind of a more of these groups and see. and also i think i'm surprised i be surprised if there really was a really big move and it flexes a lot of sensitivity about say data that we've seen with the fallout around
10:25 am
facebook in the cambridge analytical allegations that seem to be very separate very different from what we see with anything with this that this is this appointment. do you think netflix voice in the appointment or do you think they'll just try and ride this one out. well i think they all want to see how much of a story this is so this is a story that you know you and i and others keep talking about for the next few days or more that i think that they will they may well reconsider the reputational damage and so on the want people to be talking about netflix but not about problems with the likes of people not subscribing to them they won't like that kind of publicity so they get more of that of the city than they might do something else i suspect they'll write it out for now as a. you know hoping perhaps it's a storm in a teacup kind of situation but i don't think there's anything as it were in
10:26 am
principle even with political figures that people found. kind of really problematic . joining boards of different things as such i mean i think that you know the key thing will be about the content i think that you know netflix is probably doing is not to shape its future programming it's probably doing this so they have someone who knows how the the wheels of washington works at a time where the wheels are working in mysterious ways you know with a trunk white house and other things going on in capitol hill and and that's probably guarding a very pragmatic someone help steer them through difficult times more than anything else if it's not her they'll be wanting someone who has a knowledge base like her to be in her place right i mean do you subscribe to those who might be a bit worried about others i called soft power in the influence that you might have on the output of netflix. i don't know quite what the power she would have on it i think i think the point that
10:27 am
i'm sure has some degree of soft power any kind of major broadcaster would have that degree were any channel any program any type of thing would have that to what degree she would individually shape it i think is far from clear i see your point it is purely having someone who can lobby for it it looks very well rather than having someone writing their content so sorry one at a time but really nice until to you that was tom brooks law professor that term law school thank you it's a pleasure. so that's how things are looking so far we're going to be back with the headlines and more news in just a. it's the cradle of jazz. is america is the america we.
