Thank you. 
Was this in response to the Iraq War?
Given T'Pol's costume, it looks like it is from Season One or Two of ENT. I want to say that the episode where Archer and T'Pol search Crewman Daniels's temporal archive is "The Expanse," the Season Two finale. "The Expanse" aired on 21 May 2003. The United States-led coalition invasion and conquest of the Republic of Iraq began on 20 March 2003 and lasted until roughly 1 May. The 2003 State of the Union Address, which was widely seen as being used by then-U.S. President George W. Bush to sell the Iraq War to the United States Congress and to the American people, was given on 28 January. Assuming the text Okuda wrote here was to parody the 2003 State of the Union Address, it does seem probable that this is a response to the Iraq War.
If I close one eye and squint, the thing at the top center of the screen they're looking at looks a bit like Babylon 5.
The weird thing is in the original broadcast it said "By Iris West-Allen".
Ah, I missed that! That makes sense then -- "Future Tense" aired on 19 February 2003, so much sooner after the 2003 State of the Union Address but before the actual invasion.
If they're reading it, shouldn't the writing be reversed?
It's a real article, written by Jake Tapper. I checked, and it's the same guy, not another person with the same name.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just looked for news articles with the number "47" in them.

One could suppose that the display is a hologram, and therefore would be visible as a "surface" from any direction it was viewed.
