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.

When is the Bush administration going to wake up and start revoking some of these MSM press passes. This would not be censorship or a violation of the freedom of the press. The MSM has gotten hundreds of stories wrong. Incompetency is not a justification to be able to attend a White house press conference. I know this speech was not given at the white house, but you have to start some where. If I was to start a newspaper tomorrow, I couldn't get a press pass for the white house. I say revoke some passes and hand them out to other news media companies.

Do you know how to post a picture? I have a picture of the cheney shot with the words in black I could make out highlighted, but don't know how to upload.

That's interesting. Glitch is a rather weak explanation...why not just explain specifically what happened?

[Cougar66]

Another example of our own American citizens undermining this country. I hope someone at CNN gets canned. They deserve it.

[Cougar66]

Plus, I hope the Secret Service looks into it as well. Black X across the VP's face is UNACCEPTABLE.

The Jews? All this time I've been blaming the shoes! Now I know I need to get my hearing checked.

Haven't seen that anyone else can read the bottom words yet, but I believe it says" after the FDA proposed restrictions on it's top-selling ast ( then not clear to me.) So, it rather looks as if it may be a mistake?

[Pagey]

Tell everyone you know about this tomorrow Reminder BUMP!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

Sheeeeesh already. CNN stinks!

[RasterMaster]

The whole damn network needs to get canned or just change their name to DNCnn. Better to pull the plug on the turds and let the DUmocrats find em new jobs hawking vaccum cleaners or encyclopedias door to door.

[Cougar66]

I agree, I was trying to hold my temper. :)

[Cougar66]

Im not sure but I bet if you check the CNN control room you will find....

That's interesting. Glitch is a rather weak explanation...why not just explain specifically what happened?

Just as HBO in 1986, CNN had to acknowledge something happened without formally acknowledging that they temporarily lost internal control of their final signal....
... the "fib" leaves less egg on their face.

Make no mistake, this was an inside job, but I seriously doubt Ted Turner held a conference call with MoveOn.Org to workout the details.

[Cougar66]

Cant make it out

[RasterMaster]

It's NOT funny even if a "glitch"...have there ever been any "glitches" to happen during an Al Gwhore or Clinton speech?
