CNN MARKS CHENEY: NETWORK FLASHES 'X' OVER VP'S FACE DURING LIVE SPEECH

**Exclusive**

At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!

The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.

As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."

One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN.

"Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"

A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.

Drudge is going to be on Fox news at 9:45 tonight to talk about this

Just saw it. The X was played several times during Cheney's speech. Very disturbing. I hope CNN outs the purp.

Isn't subliminal ads and the like illegal?

These are not considered 'subliminal' . . .this was just quoting what Cheny was saying. . .a scrolling as one would see if you used the 'hearing impaired' function on your tv.

It is interesting that they chose to do this; moreso by including the x.

I am sure they will come up with some 'reason'. . .to explain it; but for the reason-capable; I think we got the message, just the way it was intended.

[judicial meanz]

Just took a real hard look at the picture, and it looks like a letter "8" superimposed over the "e" in the word "criticize".

There appears to be some type of sentence or phrase over the crawler on the bottom.

[Rain-maker]

Strange wording in the footer/title too. Video cap is poor quality, but you can make out the word black on the far right in the inversion.

[Lancer_N3502A]

This is totally over the top. The FCC needs to smoke these people.

[impatient]

inserted another X to see if the same strange distortion around the contrast happened

[roses of sharon]

I want them ruined, one by one, reporter by reporter. Their personal, financial, business, and professional lives destroyed.

As they have been doing to others for decades.

Think about it. The SAME so-call reporters, journalists, corporations, producers, staff, all year after year, with impunity destroy people and their livelihood's without compunction.

And they answer to no one, while running this country, our pols, our policies, our culture, our education, our judiciary, as they write our very history.

They and their Hollywood minions, run our moods, opinions, buying habits, our money, and our health.

I want them dead, (professionally of course). They are unserious and dangerous, and have been endangering our soldiers lives for decades.

Colms just said it was an effector glitch (quoting CNN producers).

[daybreakcoming]

CNN will probably come up with some kind of glitch explanation - OMG - Allen just gave CNN's statement and they said it was a glitch. I am psychic!!!!!

[SE Mom]

Colmes: CNN said it was a technical glitch

[TheForceOfOne]

Does it say "To black" as in fade to black?

[nopardons]

CNN now says that it was a "transformer glitch." Yeah, sure it was....NOT!

[aft_lizard]

Hmm. Well you can make out the word black w/ no problems.

[marajade]

The word black is definitely in there.

[SmoothTalker]

It probably was an honest mistake. They aren't stupid enough to do this on purpose.
