Hey Theo!
There's a big difference between "demanded" (title of the article ) and "asked" (content of the article).  When articles mislead the reader by using inaccurate headings, it hurts the credibility/ of the author/publication.

There was plenty of information about what NSA did, so the author didn't have to resort to such mis-wording to create a reasonable article.

Not when the NSA is the one doing the asking.  Their "ask" is a "demand".

Thanks, as a non native english speaker i am still learning these fine differences.
You want to say that NSA "would like to" instead of "they forced them to" ...?
In these cases where we "do not really know whats behind", i personally think its wise to act like somebody who "does not know if a burglar is in the house".

What do you do "if you do not know IF a burglar is in the house?"
You act like he is there. If he is not, you have been safe and it was funny.
