    :rolleyes: Another reason to never watch CNN.





    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.

    OMG LIEBERAL MEDIA :rolleyes:

    It looks like a production mistake, there's some text under the X that I can't make out.

    It's a lie. I watched the CNN speech live and it never happened. Although I would probably have a good laugh if it did.

    Uprising you need to get your news from some place other than Drudge.

    The "X" marks the spot where you are supposed to start digging with your pickaxe.

    Only trouble is, you won't find gold. Just bullsh*t.

    Funny how Drudge is the only one reporting this. Typical crap from him.

    Host: Top ten answers to the question:"What is the administration going to do about public dissatisfaction with Iraq?"

    Cheney: (huddles with teammates, mumbles, turns to host) Uh, we're going to go with "I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."

    Host: Okay, "I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE," "I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE," is their answer, let's look up on the board....Survey says......?????

    BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRR


    edit: and just found this too, guess Uprising will have to not trust Republicans too? http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/12/bush.ad/

    The only thing that is up for debate is whether or not Drudge is a credible news source. Stuff like this makes it look like he is a partisan hack.

    Transition begins after 5 frames of black


    Uprising, I'm sorry but if you believed they would risk their credibility by purposely doing that, you must be a moron.

    I stand corrected and apologize to Uprising.

    Apparently it did happen but only for a split second and it wasn't on purpose. Apparently CNN was loading a graphic for their next segment and the X was a transition graphic to the next.

    It happened so fast I guess I messed it. But of course Drudge has to make it into some big conspiracy.

    Uprising I apologize for calling you a liar.

    Drudge reported the facts like reporters SHOULD do... if anything his report helped clear up exactly what happened. I love how people continually bash drudgereport.com but you all read it and start topics with stories directly from it. Bush can make an error like try to open a locked door and get out, but you can't laugh when CNN does something stupid? Come on people.
