It's pretty obvious it was a control room visual cue.
But the very fact that speculation of a darker nature has had such legs is testament to the state of the American media and the public's opinion of it. The fact that it was so widely believed to be deliberate on the part of some anti-Bush agenda at work should serve as a wake-up call to CNN and the rest of the media. The fact that CNN was forced to defend against the suspicion demonstrates just how much they have lost credibility with the American public.

I assume someone is going back to see if this has been happening for a while with people they hate and we just now caught one?

About one year ago I saw the same situation, a X over a politican head figure. Just passed it off as a stupid control center tech. But now I believe it was on purpose.
sssssssssssssss
when are the control center technicians going to blog out on issue and tell the truth?.

Exactly, my guess is that the "bug" was that the X was left up too long by some subroutine because it tapped into a stopped clock.

My satellite boxes have bugs too - they won't tune to CNN.That's not a bug, that means it is working just fine.

Yeah; it was the same computer bug that caused CNN Headline News to play the theme from The Jeffersons (Movin' On Up) in the background when they announced Condi Rice would be the new Secretary Of State last November.

I emailed them to say I didn't believe them it was a bug! Told them their child like stunts is why their ratings are in the toilet and Fox offered reporting with both views.

CNN has been reduced to relying on computer errors now to rehabilitate their pathetic credibility. Their excuses are edging towards the realm of the supernatural. It's a case for the X Files worthy of an investigation by Mulder and Scully.
