Is CNN getting desperate???

And you liberals complain about FOX news! How is CNN gonna explain this?

"CNN MARKS CHENEY: NETWORK FLASHES 'X' OVER VP'S FACE DURING LIVE SPEECH

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. "

Naw.... There were no politics involved there...

It was a plug for the new X-Box 360 which hit the stores today.

Hmmm, must be one of those conspiracies by the liberal left wing media!! (I thought only lefties believed in conspiracies??)

Haven't you seen Saw? X marks the spot. There is a deactivating key buried inside the Veeps skull. You have 24 hours to retrieve it or the minute pipe bomb buried inside of Ted Kennedy's giant midsection will explode.

I like this persons take on it.

"I'll believe the "glitch" claim when CNN does the same thing happens to a moonbat like Pelosi."

What would CNN be getting desperate about? Not sure I understand what you see their motivation to be. They're trying to say he's history? Why exactly would they focus on Cheney?

If they wanted to do a subliminal thing, I don't think a semi-senile, torture-promoting, soon-to-be-dragged-into-the-mire-before-a-Grand-Jury VP would be the target.

Maybe I am missing something.

why? because if it happens to a liberal, it's a "glitch." but because it happend to Cheney, it was deliberate?

Still think it was a glitch?

CNN OPERATOR FIRED AFTER SUGGESTING 'X' OVER CHENEY WAS 'FREE SPEECH'

A CNN switchboard operator was fired over the holiday -- after the operator claimed the 'X' placed over Vice President's Dick Cheney's face was "free speech!"

"We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, Bush and Cheney," the CNN operator said to a caller. "Bring our soldiers home."

[Mr_Cheeze]

No, I think it was an idiot, overly ambitious telephone operator who couldn't keep his yap shut and he got fired for it. Nothing more, nothing less.

[TrailBate]

sounds like a CNN operator treating a caller the same way Hannity, O'Reilly, and most others on FAUX treat any anti-Bush caller/guest.

[kernel crash]

How would you know. Have you called lately?

[TrailBate]

uh, because I watch FAUX?

I can see the CNN strategy meeeting now. Present are the VP of Programming, the News Editor, the CEO, and a telephone operator.

VP of Programming: So Cheney sucks. The Bush administration bombed Al Jazeera for Christ's sake. We're probably next. What can we do about it?

News Editor: I have an idea. Let's X out his face, real quickly, that'll show 'em.

CEO: Very cool, but we need a complete buy in.

Telephone Operator: OK, you got my go-ahead. Gotta make them pay for their lies. I'll handle the PR.

Kinda unlikely, dontcha think?

It probably went more like this. A couple of low level employees on the food chain thought hey wouldn't it be cool to...

Nah, we could never get away with that. WTF! Why not, everybody knows were in the tank with the libs anyways. How can this hurt us? Well deny it and chalk it up to some technical glitch. Hey maybe you got something there. Lets get Kerry, Kennedy and Michael Moore on the phone and run it by them first. Damn. Kerry is on the phone with the French Ambassador. Kennedy is at the package store, and Moore is at the Hotel 6 with Cindy Sheehan.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY what happened. You must have read that on the Drudge Report, too, huh?
