So, CBS will let that run, but will censor anything that offends the communist party of China.
Edit: For everyone jumping on the downvote train: I don't think either should be censored, but what they do censor is very telling of their ethics.

In context, this was a list of the words that are being monitored by the NSA. It stands to reason that the NSA would want to track people who discuss assassinating the president.
I don't understand why this is controversial.
It is wildly inappropriate to be doing such a thing.
I think the NSA is concerned about the assassination of any president.
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'.

Edit: forgive the annotations on the image. It's what I found on reddit when I looked around for a source on what GP was talking about.
As others have mentioned in the thread, it's just a plausible list of NSA watchlist words. (Unfortunately, my post here probably wound up in one of their datacenters now.)
