Drudge Report ^ | November 21, 2005

[RWR8189]

Probably just an honest mistake...

I'm surprised they even covered his speech live...

[dynachrome]

Probably just an honest mistake... "Yeah, that's the ticket"

[mwyounce]

Can anyone make out what's written in black below the X?

[SteveMcKing]

Probably just an honest mistake...

Are you joking.

[msnimje]

THe VP is one of the "X-Men?"

[coloradan]

What is their excuse for the X at all? I've never seen this on other speakers before. (So, it's not like it's a glitch that happens all the time.)

[Americanwolf]

The communist news network lets it true partisan colors show!

[msnimje]

"I do not believe it is wrong to criticize."

[aft_lizard]

arrgggh beat me to it.

[EagleUSA]

CNN cannot handle the truth the Thugsocrats was a DEFEAT AND A SURRENDER in Iraq. The Thugs are stopping at nothing, at any disasterous cost, to bring about a loss for Bush.

It is that simple.

[BenLurkin]

Is this for real?

[doug from upland]

What is CNN?

[SamAdams76]

Is this that much ballyhooed "major expose" that Drudge was threatening us with tonight?

[ALWAYSWELDING]

They don't have to give a good reason for it. Their buddies on free tv and in print just won't cover it.

[Izzy Dunne]

The TV studio was hacked.

[Americanwolf]

yes he should have included the sarcasm tag :')

[msnimje]

Drudge is going to be on Fox news at 9:45 tonight to talk about this.

[voletti]

Probably just an honest mistake... Yeah. Too honest by half, if you ask me...

[Cicero]

Are you joking?

I'm sure he is. As he points out, it's a wonder CNN even broadcast the speech.

[fizziwig]

It says "It is wrong to criticize"

[aft_lizard]

Yeah I would like to know that, does anybody have a way to peal back layers?

[BunnySlippers]

Wow! Why not just a simple skull and crossbones. Death to CNN.

[nopardons]

YIKES!

[mwyounce]

No, not the white text...

If you look, there is something written in black that has been laid across that text, and also across the "live today" graphic.... just like the X, but since it's dark behind that part of the screen you can't see it all.

[aft_lizard]

No there is some black lettering that cant be made out there if you look close enough.

[Dane]

Has that pseudo professor in Jersey, gotten a new job at CNN?

[SedVictaCatoni]

THe VP is one of the "X-Men?"

His mutant name is "Bigtime", and his mutant ability is the manipulation of the oil markets. He's also good at convincing Storm to send hurricanes to attack places he doesn't like.

[tflabo]

First it's X-mas...now it's X-ney.....
I guess the liberal communists like the big X when stomping out the Truth.

[Riley]

Angry moonbat tech at the studio- who didn't think it was going to go out over the feed. My guess.

[the invisib1e hand]

cnn goes to hell. again.

[dmw]

Which program on FOX will he be on? Eastern time or Pacific?

[SteveMcKing]

Was it a subliminal "X"? Or did it flash for several seconds?

[operation clinton cleanup]

Must have been one of those interns playing tic tac toe on the monitors...

[Americanwolfsbrother]

What is CNNs justification for this? They are getting a email for sure. Can't say I'll stop watching them cause I have blocked CNN for the last 5 years on my t.v. but would love to know how they justify this. Also can the FCC get involved in this?AWB

[Americanwolf]

not sure... but it flashed long enough for someone to get a screen cap of it... so I would say it was at least a couple of seconds.

[Riley]

"No Mulder, tape the window, not the TV set!"

[ruptured duck]

drudge says "creating an odd subliminal effect"

[Dustbunny]

What totally ignorant BA$TARDS they are.

[Popman]

I believe the text under the "X" says: "All your base belong to us"

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.

Developing...

[SeeRushToldU_So]

CNN is so hungry for ratings they stoop to this?

[tioga]

CNN - subliminal messages..........what next?

[hosepipe]

CNN knows only Muslocrats watch CNN.. why not.?.

[Izzy Dunne]

but it flashed long enough for someone to get a screen cap of it... so I would say it was at least a couple of seconds.

Think again - the screen shot could be of a video recording...

[newzjunkey]

I couldn't decipher it. The image quality is pretty poor. With the actual video, it might be more evident.

[Salvey]

I can't believe that the Founding Fathers intended for the First Amendment to be abused in this manner.

[gondramB]

"Yeah I would like to know that, does anybody have a way to peal back layers?"


I took a quick shot at resampling and enhancing but was unsuccessful - I'll see if I can get a higher res original to start from.

[Americanwolf]

I would say outright propaganda and lies... but they have been doing that for years!

[SteveMcKing]

A lengthy flash is nothing... but this was meant to be sneaky!


Thank God for Matt Drudge. From the Blue Dress, to the '04 election, and now this....

[Americanwolf]
