[Greg o the Navy]

A contemptible denial from the Clinton News Network. Can someone remind me why these useless creeps are given license to slander?

[Peace Is Coming]

The bottom of the screen read:

"CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE"

What about that???

[thoughtomator]

I bet Bill Burkett has the documents to back this up.

[quantim]

are working on the equipment

That equipment is human, not machine.

[JUST A BARTENDER]

They were just showing people in Florida how to vote.

This is a blatant lie.

Any momentary glitch would have just had the picture frozen. Where did the X come from? Some CNN bottom feeder concoted it, the bloggers called it, and now CNN is backtracking. Yeah, just like Janet Jackson's wardrobe "malfunctioned."

[HitmanLV]

Honestly, I don't think this is a big deal. It looks like some workplace horsing around that got loose.

Anyone ever worked in an office where there was a little fun once in a while? That we don't share their sense of humor is peripheral. They said they were sorry, that's good enough for me. Whoever is directly responsible may get reprimanded or maybe fired.

It diminishes our side to go ape over stuff like this. One problem in our culture is misplaced outrage: the libs make it an inexorable part of their worldview and day to day life.

Don't make it part of ours.

The "X" is something used by a computer to mark a space where one visual element is to segue into another,

Can anyone with expertise back this up? Any other networks have this?

[Just mythoughts]

I do not believe them either, even though they had Rush's purported girlfriend with one of the technical malefactors on explaining what supposedly happened.

They showed their monitor with the "full" time X, however, I found it very very curious that they did not have other examples where their equipment had technical "X" glitches.

I believe somebody did it on purpose.

[sofaman]

CNN has been dubbed "CNX"...

[TheWyzzyrd]

Speaking as a trained electronics technician, specifically in communications electronics, I personally think the odds against it being an "accident" are very high. An X over someones' face goes way beyond chance. An X on the screen? Maybe. A large X on the screen? Maybe. An X over someones' face? Maybe. A large X centered on a persons' face? Highly unlikely. JMHO.

[Zack Attack]

Do glitches like that ever occur to Rats on CNN?

[backhoe]

 Cheney's video really was an accident?

[hershey]

CNN had their cake and ate it, too. They didn't fire the idiot who did this.

[Joe Boucher]

The Bush administration has no backbone when it comes to the media.
1st, when at daily news briefing if any snot nosed puke reporter gets out of line they should be refused entrance to any other.
Hell, Helen Thomas treats any news conference like a forum to attack the administration.
Oft times many other "journalists" or unAmerican pukes only try to embarass or attack officials.
2nd when a radio or t.v. station does nonsence3 like this, either fess up or lose access or lose your air space, the hell with them.
Love to see c.n.n. thrown off the air along with n.p.r., just to see the libs howel.

[pookie18]

[sauropod]

To CNN: Uh-huh.

[anton]

I'm not much of a believer in coincidence. Let's see, CNN has been on the air for about 20 years, 24/7. This is the first time this "glitch" happened, just when Cheney was in the middle of a speach that thte lefties claim to be a lie. Gosh, what a coincidence. Sort of like Condit's pregnant mistress being abducted and killed in DC. Hmmmmmmmm.

[cgbg]

one-seventh of a second

I think they owe Cheney a one seventh of a second clip with "Victory" as a watermark. :-)

[manwiththehands]

The "X" flashed twice, on the air for a total of one-seventh of a second ...

ONE-SEVENTH of a second?!

That's an eternity! That's plenty of time to brainwash the entire American public!! It's TREASON!!!

C'mon, folks. Let's move on.
