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 bet it was most likely that someone was playing around in a control room to cause this."

It could have been. The thing that bothers me, though, is the fact that this wasn't a normal video feed. The only way it could have been created was to be animated frame-by-frame. The only way it could be seen was by someone who could step through each frame of video to see what was there.

"Interesting read but I just cant seem to rally behind the blame the Jews for everything crowd. Larouche is an interesting sort but a bit too Tin Foil for me. Thanx for the link.

There are a few links out there with Cheney along with an X. I was trying to find a picutre or two recently, but couldn't come up with any.

Tacky. Juvenile. Then again the left can not intelligently debate, so this is what they resort to. For now. I'm just waiting for the real temper tantrum. Just wait, it's coming.

How can any thinking conservative NOT think badly of CNN?

They are not just anti-Bush/Cheney. They are anti-American.

This is NO accident. It may have been a childish, malicious game, but it was done deliberately.

You can take that to the bank.

That is what I thought too at first, but you will notice that you cant see his shoulder on the side where the word "Black" is. If you cant see his shoulder, then you cant see the wrinkles on the coat on the shoulder. you cant see the third "N" in "CNN" but you can clearly see the "C" and the first "N"

Thank you very much for your simplified (for the simple!) explanation. It is just as I thought.

"The most basic broadcast character generator can flash text at varying speeds."

That's true. But, at the very least, the character generator had to be programmed to "flash" the text every 15 frames or so. And someone had to be monitoring the source, in order to perform the fade.

Probably hacked by some nerd Marxist technician who reads Norm Chomsky for pleasure, and who will be fired.

When I edit the picture, I can see the script better. What I want to do is print the picture with the brightness and contrast changed and try and trace the lettering, what can be seen anyways, But my printer is out of ink, sigh!

I watched the video -- found the first X at 1:28, but couldn't find the reported second and third X's.

Can someone please tell me at what point in the 18:57 minute video the other X's occur?

If it was an error, how come errors like this don't happen occasionally at other times?

They happen more often than you think. (Remember that CNN had the Columbia travelling at 17 time the speed of LIGHT when it broke up over Texas). I worked in broadcasting for 15 years and saw them quite frequently, and still do, especially on local newscasts. I made a few of the mistakes myself, and can tell you, no one who is working on the production end of it wants to make an on air screw up. Someone at CNN will lose their job over this, of that I have no doubt. I think CNN is very biased toward the liberal socialist end, but I don't see some great conspiracy going on here.

Is there a future for this story, or does CNN get away with another childish and malicious attempt to do harm to this administration?

Well it is still posted on Drudge; and no doubt CNN fuming that it is headlined.

The catch 22 here; IMHO, is simply that to further this story; just imprints and exacerbates even further, a very dangerous message; and yet, to ignore it. . .invites a danger as well. . .

. . .as mentioned earlier; with friends like CNN et al. . .who needs a terror network threatening to destroy us.

Wonder if Drudge will pull it before morning. . .

Exactly!  This is an outrage.  There has to be some kind of law (or whatever) against this type of "news" reporting.

Shameful!
