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.

I am not taking any chances.I'm putting my TIN Foil HAT on.
I tried playing with the saturation and gamma on the photo but it's still hard to see. It could be a graphic that someone was working on that mistakenly got punched on air. I do see the word 'black' over the 'LIVE Today' at lower right, and there are definitely other words below the X superimposed over Cheney's quote.
Since this was not live at the time the X aired, the super is appearing over video. I originally thought this could not have been an error, but I see now how it could be after all.
By Jove, you've got it there. What a strange mistake.
You're on to something with the filter idea.
Also I was thinking it could be inverted or reversed or obversed or mirror-imaged or something along those lines.
At first I couldn't place it, but was thinking Turkish? I just can't tell. But it's not English.
That's what I'm thinking now as well. It actually appears to say [fade to] black.
Outstanding work, but I disagree that it says that.
I'm not sure what all it says, but not that. If so, why are some of the letters upside down/backward, but not all?
It's English. There is nothing sinister here.
Two can play at that game:

For the same reason that Cheney is upside down. You are looking at the original (easily seen letters) and the letters that appear when I "FILLED" the area where the X is with a different color than black
Okay. Thanks. (...still not completely sure....)

CNN CLARIFIES CLARIFICATION: We Cannot Support the Troops. .
(Atlanta 2005-02-11) 6:35 EST -- Bowing to the blogstorms of the insidious right to become transparent, CNN this afternoon issued a clarification of their previous clarification via CNN's official spokeswoman, Christa Robinson.
"At a meeting between Eason Jordan and CNN executives this afternoon," Robinson stated, "it was agreed that this unfortunate incident was a learning opportunity for CNN on many levels. Accordingly, it was the consensus of all those at this high-level meeting that CNN immediately adopt the high-principles of journalistic professionalism, consistency, and transparency demanded by the blogosphere.
"It is, then, the official position of CNN News that, since we do not and cannot support the imperialistic American war in Iraq, we do not and cannot support the American troops in Iraq, either as units of the occupying and oppressive fascist forces of Bushism, or as individual Americans.
"We fully realize that by making our previously opaque position perfectly transparent, we are putting our journalists in danger of being assassinated by the stormtroopers of Amerikkka at an even greater rate than that divulged by Chairman Jordan to his friends in Switzerland last month, but that is an acceptable risk.
"Accordingly, we give fair warning to the goose-stepping minions of the Uber-Fascists in the White House, that all our reporters will be armed to the teeth with RPGs, trained to kill on command, and have their SUVs fully armored.
"Chairman Jordan fully endorses this new position and, although he will not make himself available for comment, may be quoted as saying, 'Bring 'em on!'
"Thank you. There's a backgrounder available at Easongate[.com].
"...very strange in penny lane today."
Nothing strange with this 'penny'..(wink)
