Well at least I don't run a smidgeon of a chance of getting any subliminal message as I don't even know where CNN is on my TV and I don't plan on finding out.
For those who think this was "just a glitch", check out this link. The explanation of breaking the code to intionentional direction by CNN.

Fascinating! I love getting the facts. This link certainly gives me ammo against any liberal who tries to claim it didn't happen or couldn't have been deliberate.
bumper stickers please.
CNN awarded Vice President Al Gore six percent more of the TV screen when both he and George W. Bush were shown on a split-screen during Tuesday night’s debate, the New York Post’s Richard Johnson revealed. The other networks, he added, split their screens into equal halves.-PJIn an October 6 story noted by MRC Communications Director Liz Swasey, "Gore’s the Winner Any Way TV Ted Slices It," Johnson disclosed that Republicans "suspect CNN’s manipulation of the pooled camera feeds was done to help Gore." Here’s an excerpt from Johnson’s story:
Brian Propp, a former TV-station engineer who watched the debate on CNN International, noticed the inequity.
"Its impact was to give Gore a more commanding presence on the screen, and Bush a visually reduced impact," Propp said in an e-mail to Bush headquarters after he measured each side of the split screen with graph paper.
The split-screen scandal comes after The New York Times attacked the Republicans in a front-page story for showing the word "rats" for a fraction of a second in a health-care ad slamming bureaucrats.
"They were all upset about a tenth of a second of a subliminal ‘rats,’ but they have no problem with 90 minutes of George W. Bush being diminished," one Republican scoffed.

Last night and today the Fox News Channel has been illustrating the difference in screen size by showing a still shot from CNN’s debate coverage.
I do not know how to put up a post. But I have been thinking that it might be a good time to start a free republic tv news channel. Could you put a vanity up to see if there would be any interest in doing this. I know I would help fund it.
Got a link to the video?
I remember there was a (minor) controversy a year or two ago with a photo of George W. Bush on the New York Times website. Turns out if you saved it to your hard drive, the title of the picture came up as "asshole.jpg." No doubt purely unintentional. :P
Doesn't that support the claim that it was just a glitch? I know nothing about how a TV studio works, but that bit of text seems consistent with the explanation CNN gave.
Isn't there an aphorism along the lines of "never ascribe to malice what can be explained adequately by incompetence"?
Hmm--I think that link proves just the opposite. That it was a glitch. That's why he says, 'the truth is not sexy'.
Thanks- I had forgotten that little tale.
But why does the smaller writing under the "X" say "Transition appears over 5 frames"? Anyone?
Because it's a marker on a video tape containing a pre-built transition. "X" plus 5 frames = where the transition begins. This wasn't intentional. It was a TV gaffe, nothing else. I despise CNN as much as anyone else, but save the paranoia for the real stuff.
"Must ... put ... 'X' ... over ... Cheney ..."
Now that is a bumper sticker.
Why doesn't CNN explain the words below the 'X'?
In case you didn't listen to Rush today - he challenged FOX to take a camera into the control room and PROVE HOW EASY IT WAS TO PRODUCE THE "X" AND THAT IT HAD TO BE DONE ON PURPOSE - IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE!
CNN just got caught showing their EXTREME BIAS.
Oh - my - gosh. Tell me that that isn't for real.
