I'm sure this article has already been posted, but I wonder if anyone else noticed the subtle word play here that makes it appear Bush made a mistake while giving a speech. They almost make it appear that Bush said something indecent and CNN had to apologize for airing it. Reuters are the masters of the deceptive headlines that turn positives into negatives (like today's classic "Second Quarter Economic Growth Upward Adjustment Less than Expected") or somehow making it appear Bush did something he didn't such as now with this gem making it appear that Bush, not CNN, screwed the pooch.

But some in the TV business said Tuesday that CNN should have had a system of checks and balances in place to make sure anchor's mikes are off when they're not on the air.It's the first thing your taught in radio/TV broadcasting school.

The MSM is beyond despicable.
Happily, their blind, irrational hatred of President Bush is causing them to sow the seeds of their own destruction.

It's Reuters. As in the ambulance-missile, dead-stuffed-toy, Green Helmet Guy Reuters. What else can you expect? It's all Bush's fault.

In an objective media, statistics would dictate that the news would fall for fauxtography that is pro-US, conservatives, and/or Israel at roughly the same rate as the Hezb*ll*cks fauxtogs.
Statistics also dictate that gaffes would be equally committed between Republican and Damocratic administrations.
Either statistics is a liar or the DSM is.

CNN is getting good at making "technical mistakes" when the President or Vice President are involve.
Wasn't the "X" over Chaney's face (not once but twice) a technical mistake? Didn't CNN "accidentally" air the President's warm up to a speech a few weeks ago?

"I've got to be protective of him," she said without being aware that the mic was on. "He's married, three kids, and his wife is just a control freak." Well, one things for sure, it's going to be one hell of a Christmas for that family this year. I wish I could hear the audio during that dinner.

That's all fine and good, but what I want to hear is the cat fight between Phillips and her SIL after this was broadcast all over the world. The SIL deserves equal time.

Well .. I don't accept their apology. It's as accidental as the 3 big XXX's which appeared across Cheney's face.
Disgusting people!

Someone was listiening to the output and someone was in a position to shut off the extra feed and someone made the decision that it was a good sneer at Bush and left it on or ordered it left on.

Obviously they weren't even watching and listening to their own broadcast or maybe they were and was really trying to embarrass someone? They could have cut the sound at any time.

"Bush made a mistake while giving a speech"
If you actually listen to the speech, you will hear after they cut of the stupid anchor that Pres. Bush does stumble alittle on the speech.
So, I guess, he did a make a small mistake. Big deal. Nobody voted for him because of his speech abilities.

Twice now, CNN has had such "accidents" that got our attention because the distracted from Bush's speeches. Has anybody watched CNN long enough to notice whether such accidents are common when the President isn't speaking?
I believe that, if these "mistakes" aren't intentional, they are at least a demonstration of the lack of respect or care that they have for the President and those people who voted for him.
