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.

MARKETING FIRM CONTACTS CNN; X WAS INTENTIONAL

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ — The following statement concerning CNN’s airing of an ‘X’ over live video of Vice President Cheney was released today by Team Hollywood:

Monday morning, Nov. 21, 2005, at 11:00 AM, as CNN aired Vice President Dick Cheney’s speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, the cable network flashed onscreen, repeatedly, a large black ‘X’ over the Vice President’s face, while a headline at the bottom of its screen read, “CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE.”

Unfortunately for CNN, a large number of their demographics also participate in Internet communities and Blogs, representing a large portion of their viewership and posing a threat to news cable and newspaper subscriber’s fees.

Millions from across the country telephoned CNN to alert the network about an accidental “X” over the Vice President’s face, only to be told that the “X” was intentional against the present administration. CNN callers flooded the Internet and online communities with calls to boycott the network.

Likewise, the international marketing consulting firm Team Hollywood Inc., responsible for a database of over 11 million Americans, both Democrats and Republicans from across the country, was consumed with the calls. “The volume of calls to our company became an issue that could not be ignored,” stated Joan Friedman of Team Hollywood. “We needed a statement on behalf of the Internet community callers and their newsworthy Blogs, so we made the call.”

When the founders of the company, Preska Thomas and Kevin Finn, made contact with the network, to their surprise they were bullied and harassed in the same way by the Headline News desk. Callers were repeatedly told by CNN, “Tell the President and Vice-President Dick Cheney to stop lying.” Team Hollywood’s conversation with the newsdesk was recorded. When the tape is played back, amongst political statements being made by the network were the words that the “X” was intentional, as an act of free speech by CNN.

Kevin Finn said, “The Vice-President is a symbol of the United States, much like the American flag. For CNN to desecrate the image of the Vice President is the same as the Iranians burning the U.S. flag at a rally staged for the whole world via television. It is a slap in the face to all those who serve and have served in the armed forces”.

A Democrat caller, Tricia Rosenberg of Beverly Hills, Calif., compared the big “X” across the Vice President’s face to the markings of a serial killer’s hit list. “I can’t believe that CNN resorted to such a tacky object”.

Preska Thomas said, “Fair and balanced? I am certain that we have all heard those words before. Not exactly smart as a FOX! News should be non-partisan.”

CNN was caught off-guard at the company’s headquarters in Atlanta by the recording. The statements that were made through their Headline News desk are not acceptable and there are calls on the Internet for investigation by the FCC, the FBI and the Trilateral Commission.

I guess this means that despite the technical message that appeared below the desk, the X itself was intentional. This violates laws against subliminal messages, and casts a grim shadow on CNN. This is a strange story, but if it proves to be true, CNN has some explaining to do.

Howdy. Things are good.

That's very good. ;o)

And just when we thought CNN couldn't go any lower, they go and prove us wrong with another anti-American F-up

Lets see who gets sacrificed--probably a bottom level Tech or low level producer. Remember the liberal slogan: "Reward the guilty and punish the innocent."

LOL. Yeah right!!
