I assume this is another Okudagram where Mike Okuda thought that TV would never have a high enough resolution for the audience to read what was printed.

Also, it's funny to see Jake Tapper's name under an article talking about the State of the Union. Tapper became famous a decade after this episode and started hosting the CNN show State of the Union in 2015.

This is an interesting point, because it brings into question when we could reasonably conclude that Star Trek's timeline departs from our own. Obviously it has done so by the 2020s. If we take the dating of the Eugenics Wars at face value, then it had by the early 1990s. But then if this were meant to be readable by the viewer, 2003 would still be in-line for both Star Trek's and our own shared timeline.

Star Trek's timeline diverged from ours thousands of years ago when a space alien from some other planet visited the Earth of the Trek universe and posed as the Greek god Apollo.

Or perhaps Trek's timeline actually diverged from ours millions of years ago when ancient humanoids from another world seeded the Earth with their DNA.

In an episode filmed 10 years earlier titled "Future Tense"; go figure!
