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

I still want to see CNN squirm.

In these types of situations, nothing happens by "mistake.”

If one wants to believe that line (and I mean this in general and not personal), one becomes CNN’s inabler.

I'll buy the "inadvertent" assertion if it ever happens to a moonbat like Pelosi.
