His mutant name is "Bigtime", and his mutant ability is the manipulation of the oil markets. He's also good at convincing Storm to send hurricanes to attack places he doesn't like.

Hey this is fun...

Public Name: Rumsfeld
Mutant Name: Known-Unknown
Mutant Power: Transformation of matter, for instance changing horrific torture devices into innocuous items like panties and ponchos whenever a photograph is snapped.

Public Name: Bush
Mutant Name: Bring-It
Mutant Power: Inducing mass insanity and incapacitating rage in his enemies with the power of his smirk.

There are variations like "spots" inside the X.

So........CNN just says it's a 'glitch' and the whole world forgets what they did?

Is there a future for this story, or does CNN get away with another childish and malicious attempt to do harm to this administration?

I see the word "VIDEO" superimposed in black over the word "WRONG" in white.

Sure... a fader bar looks sort of like a very small throddle control on a boat. A small lever that can be pushed forward to a stop or pulled back to a stop. The "fader bar" is used to smoothly transition between two video sources. In this case when the fader bar was pulled back we have a picture of V.P. Cheney only. When we push the bar forward we keep the picture of the V.P. but then fade in the black "X". The video I saw the "X" did not appear suddenly as in a "take" it was "faded" in and then back out.

Actually no. I think that most journalists in Washington have absolutely NO CLUE that they are so intensely biased.

And there we have tragedy of the situation.

Journalists are taught that to be a journalist, they have to be completely non-bias, to the point of having no emotional attachments to that which they are reporting on.

To the journalists, to have bias is the moment they stop being 'journalists'.

But they forgot that there can be more than two points of view on a subject and that they as journalists are reporting from a bias third point of view.

And their arrogance blinds them from admitting their bias.

Subject: big X on dick
just saw cheney on cnn. an amazing thing happened just moments into his speech. as i was watching him begin, a big X flashed on the screen, very remeniscent of the big X that flashes on family feud and other game shows when the contestent gives a wrong answer. it made me feel for all the world as if there was some kind of mind control thing going on. of course there was, it was embedded in snarley's speech, which was a bit toned down from the last one that got him headlines. he proved my original impression of murthas little talk, that it was designed to give an opportunity to provide the people "evidence" that america was still engaged in free and open debate. that is the point ricky embraced in his speech, and that is also the big lie of the day. ultimately nothing changes and we stay the same insane course we are on.

did anyone else see this? very strange in penny lane today.

I counted three. I'm at the limit of my eyesight, however. I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore.

Whatever the overlay text is- its slanting at an approximate 10 degree angle to the left of the publicly viewed text under it. That makes it harder to read.

There's a future to this story, if WE keep pounding away at it; write to CNN, decipher it all and write to Drudge. :-)

You know about this sort of thing, and I am a dunce. In your opinion, could this have been done by accident?

They don't have to give a good reason for it. Their buddies on free tv and in print just won't cover it.

You're right. If FOX had done this to Kerry a few years ago, we'd still be hearing about it today... With Cheney, this story's deader than a doornail...

Standard NTSC video is 30 frames per second. To pull this off, an animation had to be created, striped to tape, and overlayed or keyed over the Cheney feed. It's possible it was a mistake. It isn't likely it was a mistake.

Best assessment I have seen so far. Add the words appearing below the X that ended with the word 'black' and I would almost guarantee that this was not simply a glitch......

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.

It does look like operator error. Somewhere along the line someone probably puched up the CG (Chyron, Character Gen). -keyed it in - and the text had a flashing X in it. I bet it was most likely that someone was playing around in a control room to cause this.

There is also a "O" right before the word black.

Was Cheney wearing a flag lapel pin when the "X" was not present? It looks as though it was blacked out with another patch of black below the right leg of the "X".
