It'll be interesting to see if CNN issues an apology or just pretends this didn't happen.

CNN claims it was a technical error.

[marvlus]

What would be the purpose of this X, if there was one?

[saveliberty]

No, we don't learn much from the Communist News Network

[johnny7]

This wil get worse... we're not even in campaign mode yet.

The nation has been poisoned by the radical left. This kind'a sh_t has to be addressed!

[saveliberty]

Is that what it says?

[saveliberty]

I think that they should be the official network of Fidel Castro.

How can they think that this would help them?

[mainepatsfan]

That sounds a lot like the wardrobe malfunction excuse.

One lady emailed and asked, "If a black X appeared over Hillary's face when she was on Fox News, what would happen to Fox?" (rephrased because I can't remember exactly).

[TomGuy]

Steve D on Fox and Friends had what is probably the correct reason:

Someone was 'playing' with the X on a monitor that was not supposed to be broadcasting. Either that person or someone else inadvertently pushed the wrong control button and the image got broadcast.

The thing is: The X appeared several times over Cheney's face, but never showed either before, nor after, Cheney's appearance.

FoxNews should know about such things. Heck, they've been splattering their Fox News Alert banner to cover up live video for years.

There was a thread on FR last evening about this, too:

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

Bwhahahahaha!

It is only a matter of time before nutcases start to blame Karl Rove :D

[mainepatsfan]

I wonder if they've pulled this stunt before and this is just the first time they've been caught?

[saveliberty]

Hooray!!!!!

[mainepatsfan]

The MSM would go to wall to wall coverage.

[rhombus]

This wil get worse... we're not even in campaign mode yet.

No, they are ALWAYS in campaign mode. Unfortunately, WE aren't in campaign mode and that's a problem for us.

[johnny7]

No... at least I don't think so. Remember when THAT appeared on a Bush clip a few years ago?!

[mainepatsfan]

CNN longs for the day before the new media.

[parthian shot]

It comforts me to know that CNN, just as the rest of the MSM, continues to hold an un-bias attitude on their reporting.

Fair and balanced, thats the way I like it. The little darlings.... {sarcasm off

[saveliberty]

Drudge hasn't been kind to this administration lately. But I think it's great that he pointed this out.

I also think that it helps the right with leftist nutcases if Drudge (who is seen as a conservative) doesn't come out and say that there's liberal bias.

[Common Tator]

It's possible it was a mistake. It isn't likely it was a mistake

Sort of like when John Wilkes Booth pointed his gun at Lincoln's head and accidentally pulled the trigger.

[Judith Anne]

By the way, why aren't the dems asking when we're going to get the troops out of Bosnia? I think it's a quagmire.
