Drudge Nails CNN

'X' MARKS THEIR HATE?

CNN Caught Slamming Cheney During Speech



Are liberal CNN staffers no longer able to contain their anti-Republican hate?

It seems impossible to believe network suits as yet have no answer to this Drudge flash:



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.


Even if this was an accident, CNN's PR flaks should obviously be returning phone calls to explain the situation, even after hours. Waiting only makes the network look more suspect.

Otherwise, why needlessly fuel the fire for conservatives?

Once again, arrogance blinds the mainstream media.


TUESDAY UPDATES:
Drudge provides further details here.

Michelle Malkin takes a detailed look here. Verdict: unclear.

Political Teen with much more, including video.

Funny aside: "Mr X" by Ultravox (from Vienna, 1980) happens to be next up on my media player.
