The Cheney X
 
It'll be fun to hear the whining from the right and the excuses from the left about this one.....

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.
