Great read. And no doubt the X over Cheney was intentional.

I have not watched CNN for several years. I got stuck at an office last week during the Murtha hystrionics, where I was forced to view this cyber-toilet network.

I wanted to vomit at how overwhelming biased and distorted the "reporting" was. My jaw dropped at the awful and inaccurate "newscast.".

CNN ratings will be down to 1/3 of Fox ratings before another year.

The 'X' pulsed on-screen, appearing every 1/15th of a second,

In the interest of accuracy, the X pulsed on the screen for the duration of 1/15th of a second, not every 1/15th of a second. Otherwise, fascinating read.

A very powerful read, thank you for posting.

"It is a case of the ends justifying the means."

This is the exact mentality that permitted the left to overlook sex crimes, violent deaths, corruption and the abuse of power during the Clinton years. It's also how the Bolsheviks, Stalin and Mao justified the slaughter of countless innocents 'for the cause', and how the Nazis rationalized the Final Solution. The left is steering the world directly into a dark age of political tyranny and despotism, to a certain extent without the slightest clue about what they're doing.

Call me skeptical, but did this really happen (the X over Cheney's face)? Or is it a budding urban legend?

only for those who have no control over their own thoughts. Oh wait...that's the dem/libs...that's right. Led around by the nose or in this case by the X. :) :)

this message wasn't used to influence the buying habits of consumers, it was used to subliminally brainwash viewer's POLITICAL view by putting a big, black 'X' over Cheney's face as Cheney defended the administration against charges of lying

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Isn't it funny how the MSM always make these kinds of mistakes when a Republican is on the screen?

[Rightly Biased]

So what he is saying gives "Prince of the Power of the Air" Ephesians 2:2 a meaning we can understand here on earth.

I always wondered if it would be Comcast or Time Warner now I know.

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.

[babydoll22]

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

"Must ... put ... 'X' ... over ... Cheney ..."

"Must ... put ... 'X' ... over ... Cheney ..."

[rupeskid]

Why doesn't CNN explain the words below the 'X'?

[CyberAnt]

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.

I think it's the equivalent of the childish act of egging a house or spray painting graffiti. Of course, that's the audience they're playing to.
