Imagine flying a plane on autopilot and all of a sudden you're in a power dive. It is difficult to gracefully recover and then assure the passengers that everything is alright and that it won't happen again. I'm definitely not a big fan of CNN but I have to give them a pass on this one. I'm just glad it didn't happen on my watch.

Well, those control room guys certainly are quick on the "graceful" recovery. Not only did they kill the offending graphic glitch in 1/15th of a second (a human reaction speed record) but they were able to repeat the amazing feat two times after that with similar results.

Remember in 2000, close to the election and there was a Bush ad, that said "Democrats" that moved off of the screen and IF one paused it, in the right way, it showed the word "RATS". Now, IIRC, the Demoncrats tried to make a SERIOUS issue out of that, and you could not see it unless you "played " with the image a lot.

NOW... The show is on the other foot.... CNN puts a big "X" in front of Cheney's face, and will GET AWAY with it, because it was a "computer bug ". If it was FOX, and they had say, ol' Pelosi on there, and that happened, I am SURE they would be calling for hearings into pulling FOX'S license tomorrow!!
