CNN X's VP?
Notice how it frames the words "do not believe"?

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON NOV 21, 2005 21:25:35 ET XXXXX
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.

It surely wouldn't have been intentional. Even CNN wouldn't do that, that overt anyway.
I think it's someone in the control room having a laugh and not realising it would actually appear.
Or maybe it's some kind of a marker they use to align the cameras?

Another reason to watch Fox instead of CNN.

Bullshit, it's a control room mistake.

I'm gonna have to agree with Kyo on this one. It probably has something to do with camera alignment and just accidentally got put on the live broadcast. I don't think the guys who run CNN are dumb enough to do that one purpose.Alright off for a run

Out of 24 hours of available program time, per day, per CNN, how many other times do they make this mistake?

You have a lot to learn concerning the far left wing media.....
cnn ranks right up there with the best tabloids. They do not care if the news is correct, confirmed, or made-up as long as they can get some of the jerry springer crowd to watch and believe.
cnn's ratings are falling through the floor because of piss poor reporting, do you remember "Tailwind"? Thats the story that Green Berets were using nerve gas in Vietnam and even killing our own people, cnn ran with that story, until it was proven, without a doubt, it was untrue.
kerry, kennedy and slick willie's channel of choice....

Did this ever happen in eight years of the previous administration?
Drudge is reporting that people in the CNN control room were laughing when it happened.

X Marks The SPOT
Thought this headline on MSN.com is another giggling/smirking play by yet another left wing outlet. Of course it may have been totally innocent!
Yeah Right!

The media on the left is sinking to new lows at the expense of our nation and our troops in harms way!

No I don't remember Tailwind. I don't watch CNN at all.
If they've done this on purpose, they deserve everything they get.

Yes, cnn may have done that on purpose, not just an editing mistake. As distasteful as it may be, news is always being altered or exaggerated. Heck, the other day here in town, there was a shooting at the Tacoma Mall. At first the local news was saying 1 was in serious condition, 1 was in stable condition and 4 were satisfactory condition. Only til after the standoff was over did they have exact numbers with a total of 7 having to go to the hospital, not 6. Well since Fox News got wind of the event, they were reporting 2 in critical condition and 6 in stable condition totaling 8. They kept those numbers even when it ended and the actual numbers were released.
Yeah they may not have felt like updating it or just didn't care. Either way in both cases it comes down to someone not being professional about their job. A mistake or not, it's someone's job to look for the details in the info, or make sure the tape is edited for mistakes.

Like a negligent discharge it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not.
