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.

Bias in the media? Not chance Really, though, I think CNN thought Aaron Brown was speaking. :)

I was wondering if it were in Arabic quite a while ago.

StillProud, pinging you to this thread and Judith Anne's comment about Arabic "ghost" script. Possible.

Hi little J,
See my post #509. It's not Arabic. It's some kind of overlay referring to another news story. Mistake or intentional, we'll find out.

[little jeremiah]

That's what I get for taking a nap and jumping in with both feet before knowing what's going on.

I mean, I've never done that before.

lolol.

What will they do next if they get away with this? The left is out of control, and they HATE the President and the VP.

What the Party of Hate will do next seems to be the question hanging at the end of every day. There simply appears to be no limits for the Demrats to justify the worst means for their own 'will to power'.

So agree, in the end. . .while there is no 'good' choice. . .there still is a 'right' choice and that is NOT to let them get away with a modus operandi that facillitates their negative goal to destroy our President and by turn. . .the rest of America as well.

I've done plenty of that kind of jumping in myself, over the years. I took a nap, too, but hours ago:) Thanks to that better resolution on the one screen cap, my not-so-great eyes could read what the bottom words said, and now we know what the ones above it said. Don't know why anyone else picked it up yet. Later-

correction:"don't know why no one else..."

Why didn't we ever see "technical glitches" over Kerry's face, or the Clintons' faces, or over Daschle's face, or Saddam's face? ...yeah, it was a glitch all right /sarc

(Other than Kerry's "Balloons" fiasco at the Democratic Convention...)

EXACTLY!!!

[BradyLS]

They're too comfortable in their lives to do the deed themselves, so they try to provoke the next Hinckley or Chapman.

Spot on! Some nut will say, "I saw the th sign. I saw the 'X' over Cheney..." And CNN will say, "Oooh. Well... We can't be responsible for every whack job that takes a flicker on the TV as a sign to go on a killing spree..."

[jonrick46]

The left is acting like they are in the Dark Ages when any conflicting thought was X'd out by the sword. Now they are using, as Clarence Thomas once said, "a high tech lynching."

[Pajamajan]

"I've never seen this on other speakers"

Me either. I've never seen anything like this. Can't believe they would pull a stunt like that. It needs to be investigated.

[jonrick46]

I reminds me of the "RATS" words that flashed across the screen in the Dole for President campaign commercial.

I wonder if this "glitch" was intentional?

[BradyLS]

Bottom right hand corner...BIG "CNN" logo...anyone else?

I see it. It looks enlarged and distorted. You can make out an N and part of the C. It does look like Cheney's flag pin on his lapel in the middle of the C.

[BradyLS]

Some one please verify that I am not seeing things. Is there or is there not a large "CNN" logo that surrounds the word "black" It is much larger than the rest of the hidden letters.

I see it, too.

[BradyLS]

In photoshop, I can make out the words, "video" a percentage sign (I think) and at the far right the words "or black" or "of black"

Good work! I think this supports, somehwat, what 'feedback doctor' is saying: probably some control room foul-up.

[RasterMaster]

Since it only happens to Republicans....there is no doubt it was intentional.
