According to Matt Drudge, "A careful review of the tape also shows a white colored 'X' transposed over Cheney's face during the speech as well." ...but what about the text below? What does the fine print below the big X say? Does it shed additional light on the sinister plot by CNN to make a mockery of the Vice President's important address to the American Enterprise Institute and the nation?
It's CONVENIENTLY consistent with a technical malfunction...
It's called providing "plausible deniability"...
We all know this was done on purpose. C'mon...
It did, and they did. And we rightfully called them silly.
No problem, we can't even get off this rock.
And this underpass waterstain Madonna means the Second Coming is at hand. Or something.
Tempest in a teapot...
Interesting...a computer clitch. It was a finger push.

The Distort and Morph plugin pack for iMovie contains the following Transitions:
"Morph Over"
This transition Morphs between two clips. These can be movies or images but as with many transitions, the duration of each must be at least half the duration of the Morph you want to produce.
1. Locate the two clips you wish to Morph between, making sure they are next to each other in the timeline. Select the second of the two.
2. Find the "Morph Over(ImageIP)" Transition in the transitions panel, and select it.
3. You should see a preview of the transtion played in the mini-preview window.
4. Choose the duration of the transitions by setting the speed slider.
5. You can press the "Preview" button to see a larger preview in the main window.
6. To "Apply" to render the transition, click on and drag the "Morph Over" transition icon down to the movie timeline and drop it between the two clips you have chosen.
This will produce a new transition clip which takes half it's time from the end of the first clip, and half from the beginning of the second.
*Note that the transition is based on the frames at the point where the transition begins and ends - NOT on the last and first frames of the original clips. For example - a transition lasting 20 frames will morph between the frame 10 from the end of clip1 and the 10th frame of clip2.
The sound of the clips is not affected.
That was a political ad, produced by GOP resources. CNN is supposed to be an "unbiased" news source.
A message from the "Big Giant Head" on the TV in the sky...
Pretty convincing if you go to the link.
I got very curious and annoyed my kids while I went through it frame by frame to try and read it.
When I finally got the right frame on the DVR, it read something like, "Yellow filter #201 then fade."
I think its definitely possible that the same sort of thing happened to CNN, but all they need to do is show some technical reason why it was there to be accidently flashed. Or fire the wiseass jerk who thought it would be funny to load that black X into the machine and flash it over the vice-president's face.
The word rats was a brief afterglow from the word Democrats in a Republican Advertisement. It had absolutely nothing to do with a claimed technical glitch by a news network while a public political figure was giving a speech.
Get real. IT WAS AN AD BY THE REPUBLICANS THAT WAS IN QUESTION. DO YOU COPY THAT???
Good grief.
What was alleged in that instance was false. The word was moving across the screen. BUR also can be stopped similarly.
And if we can accept the RNC's protestations of innocence in that instance, so much moreso here.
There are plenty of blatant examples of CNN lib bias. This is just silly.
Anyone know how a camera and news production works. Transition Begins sounds like a manual process not an automated process.
That's my impression, too. Occasionally on the radio you'll hear things that are designed to be heard only by the local board operator -- timing beeps and countdowns and that sort of thing. It's not supposed to go out in the public feed, but sometimes they slip up and we get a glimpse behind the scenes. This seems like the video equivalent of that. The X probably marks the spot where they begin a fade or a dissolve or something.
They explain how they came their conclusion:
