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.
Developing...
The font appears to be from a 1969 Selectric.
Played around in Photoshop with it ...can't make out what it says at all..I DID however write to CNN and blasted them as should we all.
Thanks. I wish I could check it out on my computer. I will later.
CNN puts X over Cheney's face.
(I believe Cheney will laugh it off, I won't!)
Rush should have some interesting comments today!
More like the other Howard.
If you look carefully at Political Teen's video clip, especially if you step through it frame by frame, you will see the the appearance and disappearance of the black X corresponds exactly with two successive updates of the crawler text at the bottom. I also notice that the black X fades in and fades out, which is exactly what happens to the crawler text as it is updated. They do this so the text appears to move more smoothly, rather than jerking across the screen.
So, this tells me whatever equipment they use to generate the crawler is also the equipment that generated the black X. I have to assume that this eqipment has control of the whole screen, not just a strip at the bottom. Parameters like text size, color, font, postion, speed of crawl, and so forth should all be programmable. Somebody at CNN has the job of feeding new material into the crawler. That person is probably having a conversation with his or her boss this morning.

Has FOX jumped on the story, or are they still gunning to be CNN-wannabe as they have been lately?
I wonder. Is our hyping of the X going to help or hurt? Cheney gave a great speech but I bet you dollars to donuts nobody is going to even know what he said because of the dustup. The average sheeple will buy that it's a glitch.
I saw that. And then again looking at it, I am just not sure. However, they may be right.
I totally missed the story about the speech. Let alone the transcript itself.
When I got home, all I heard talked about was the X.
The main stream media is the whore of the DemonRATs.It's not a free press anymore if they freely give control of their "news reporting" over to a political party.
"Transition begins after 5 frames of black"
Plausible deniability. Throw in some technical jargon to fool the boss. "Oh, it's just a glitch in the equipment. Not my fault!"
RATS!
If Bubba had been on screen there would have been 3 x's.
The "X" Man. :')
