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.

And there's no liberal bias in the mainstream media

Not usually, though, when it matters. Both the New York Times and the Washington Post editorial pages, for example, extolled Colin Powell's speech to the UN, which Powell now regrets having made. The Post said the evidence presented by Powell was "irrefutable." And of course the Times was Judith Miller's home. She got her information for articles from Cheney's office and then Cheney said such-and-such must be so because even the liberal Times says so.

Mainstream media, by definition, are mainstream.

I think there should be a poll on weather to keep the X or get rid of the X.

This, in my frequently not very humble opinion, is childish BS. I don't care what party you support, this crap is just that, crap. I also thought/think Nixon's "dirty tricks" idiots were immature, so don't give me any flak about being biased.

Yes Andy, but their anchors (except for Fox) are liberal.

Seems to me that the mainstream is Fox News, since it utterly dominates cable news night in and night out.

Because the way liberals show their bias is by flashing giant X's on top of public figures and hoping that nobody notices but that there is an enormous subliminal effect.

LOL. I love this attack on the left. Not only do they get to try and claim that CNN is some left-wing mouthpiece, they also subtly imply that the left is stupid, because if this were left-wing bias, it would be the stupidest thing ever.

What it really is is a distraction. A distraction from their incompetence. Which is truly undeniable.

Keep the X. Get rid of the background.

Sounds kinda funny, actually. Reminds me of bowling.

i agree, but their owners are usually conservative.

The above would lead me to believe that they're more pro-right then pro=left, but really i believe they're pro-profits.

really their politics aren't even politics they're marketing. They'll play whatever story/angle will get them viewers. Since the Nixon era the most popular angle has been anti-establisment, whoever is in office gets criticised. I don't think the mainstream media does this because they don't like whoever the president happens to be, but because people are far more likely to watch news about dishonesty and scanadal then the typically mundane reality.

The typical idea is what are you more likely to report on/watch, a car on fire or one that's not. Regardless of the porportion of cars on fire at any given time, you're gonna see a lot more of the cureently exploding on the news, then those sitting at idle.

[andyfox]

Whatever the bias of TV anchors, their influence has certainly waned. At one time, of course, we got all our news from Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley. With the advent of talk radio and the internet blogosphere, what Bryan Williams or Newsweek might say or not say is of much less import than it once might have been. I still think, though, that when push comes to shove, the government can count on the mainstream media to do its bidding on the big issues.

I hate it when the libs pull the old "flashing X over the VP" trick. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[CORed]

Well, with an old fashioned paper ballot, your made an "X" in the box to vote for somebody. CNN has inside information that cheney will run for president in '08 and is sending a subliminable message to vote for him. This is a clear-cut case of conservative media bias

The "flashing X over the VP" is one of the most cherished tactics in our bag-o-tricks. I heard Ted Turner himself plans to personally oversee the super-imposing of a penis image onto the forehead of the GOP's '08 nominee. Pure diabolical genius. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Shhhh.....

Haven't you noticed the extreme, overt, and obvious liberal bias of the MSM? And by that I mean, haven't you noticed all the subtle, clandestine, underhanded, and not-readily-apparent ways the MSM is biased towards liberals?

There are other words in black under the X and in the bottom right corner - has anybody attempted to figure out what these words are?

This reminds me of a GREAT story.

Back when I worked in Talk Radio over at AM 1500 KSTP, I was still a part-timer on the weekends - I was asked by the boss to work a couple extra shifts - one of the board op's was on Suspension.

It seems that during a rebroadcast of the Rush Limbaugh program on Sat., someone called into the show and made a comment about how Liberals had done this or that or something...all on tape delay, of course, on the weekends when the audience was way down.

He punched the on-air board mic and said just one word - "Squealer" -

On monday someone called the Rush Limbaugh program and mentioned the incident on-air, and Rush got pretty damned indignant and said that apparently we didn't value our advertisers.

How do I know they called on Mon. and got indignant? - Cause the next weekend I was doing his job for a week, replaying the Rush program on the weekend - LOL - and I heard it.

In the end, it was also funny cause the station didn't have a single Liberal voice - I don't think the station van wasn't even allowed to MAKE a left turn - if you wanted to go left you had to make three right turns to point in the right direction. -

and then Bo Snerdly called and raged holy hell - suspension for the offender - WT gets his foot a bit further into the door, and shortly afterwards I went to work for them full time.

of course, now KSTP delays the broadcast so it's not live anyways - they broadcast it from 12-3, I think... and Rush has to change stations, which he is doing. Guess he's not the hot commodity he used to be - which suits me just fine.
