CNN MARKS CHENEY: NETWORK FLASHES 'X' OVER VP'S FACE DURING LIVE SPEECH

**Exclusive**

At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!

The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.

As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."

One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN.

"Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"

A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.

Come on, tell us what you really think!*




*I agree 100%

[Republican Wildcat]

And Dan Rather has the documents to prove it.

[nopardons]

Yes, I remember all of that.

These people ( and I use that word loosely ) really are as nasty as we think they are.

[cwb]

"The media is like a bunch of 1st Graders.

Yes they are. In just the last couple months we've seen close-ups of private notes for bathroom breaks, manipulation of Condi Rice's face and a general disregard for the truth WRT Wilson and WMDs. These people threw a fit over the "rat" in Democrat...yet their blatant attempt here will be totally dismissed as an innocent mistake.

[tarheelswamprat]

I'd love to stay for this discussion, but for some reason I have to go to the concession stand for some popcorn and a drink...

[nopardons]

What do you "has become"? Colmes has ALWAYS been one.

[judicial meanz]

There is also some type of face or image of a face below the bottom right leg of the "X". It shows on the negative, but not the original.

Very disturbing. I hope CNN outs the purp.

There is no 'perp'. . .CNN has explained it was a 'glitch'.

[eXe]

Yeah I noticed the text as well, Over by the S&P Ticker I can bearly make out the words "G Blqor" or something like that

[SteveMcKing]

"effector glitch" yields zero results in Google.

Pretty rare "glitch", eh?!

[GVnana]

There is no 'perp'. . .CNN has explained it was a 'glitch'.

I'd like more.

"This was a technolgical malfunction, not an issue of operator error. A portion of the switcher experienced a momentary glitch."

LOL, switchers do not assemble block X's centered on Cheneys face from random noise. CNN thinks we are all idiots. They are only partially right, their viewers are largely idiots.

[prouddvldog]

No, but they do act like 13 year olds.

[ez]

The word over the clock looks like "black"

[Reactionary]

Less than a second. Well, isn't that interesting...

In order to pull that little trick, they had to key an animated "X" in every fifteen frames or so.

Surely the frothing liberal lunatics at CNN are quite innocent in this whole affair. I mean, it's quite obvious that they would never stoop to such brainless Stalinist tactics.

[roses of sharon]

I would love to see an entire thread on these bastards crap since 2000, I'll bet its enormous.

We could sell tickets.

[msnimje]

Last year CNN had a photo of President Bush on their website and the name of the photo under "properties" was something profane (I do not remember what it was now).

[Americanwolf]

Agreed!
