Cheney X on CNN - Fox/Druge spreading false CONSPIRACY's - PROOF of GLITCH

[jsamuel]

CNN and other networks should hit them back for spreading a conspiracy theory with no proof that CNN would purposefully put an X over the VP's face for a "subliminal" effect.

1. The networks should just start referring to them as FAUX news

tell them they're pundits, not journalists

21. The net effect has to be good for us.

Getting X and Sneer associated any way we can. The unconscious is impervious to negation. "I am not a crook" gets stuck in there as "I am...a crook." When something gets in past the mental censors, it goes to work via simple association. The crucial factor is the number of neural associations between "Cheney" and "X;" in that pre-rational territory, nothing else matters.

Cheney is now X. Done. Kaput.

2. I was wondering what the text (under the "X") was...

Thanks, jsamuel!:thumbsup:

Makes Drudge look like the ninny he is, doesn't it? :rofl:

[Loonman]

3. Drudge is an is an idiot

Anyone who knows anything about TV, from cable access on up knows what this thing is.

4. Distraction Ploy?

When I hear about the Right getting upset, I sometimes wonder if they are trying to deflect attention from bigger issues, such as lying America into illegally invading a sovereign nation.

The Bush Administration are the ultimate losers. They have failed at everything they set out to do, besides making profits for big corps..

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Of course they are!

That's all they have to do.

CNN SENIOR MANAGEMENT LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION OF CHENEY 'X'; CONTROL ROOM STAFFER 'LAUGHED' WHEN X FLASHED

CNN management has launched an internal investigation into how a giant black 'X' mark appeared over Vice President Dick Cheney's face -- as he delivered a speech from Washington on Monday!

"We are taking this matter very, very seriously, and I can assure you no one at this network would ever deliberately place an 'X' over the vice president's face," a top CNN source, who asked not to be named at this time, said from New York.

A well-placed CNN insider claims a control room staffer "laughed" when the image appeared shortly after 11 am.

A careful review of the tape now shows a white colored 'X' was also transposed over Cheney's face during the speech, it appeared for less than 1/15 of a second, creating a startling flash effect.

CNN spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg emails: "We concluded this was a technological malfunction not an issue of operator error. A portion of the switcher experienced a momentary glitch. We obviously regret that it happened and are working on the equipment to ensure it is not repeated."
A rival network news director asks: "When has an 'X' ever aired on CNN before? Who had the graphic sitting in the key signal? Who generated the 'X'?"

The vice president himself is said to have brushed off the incident, a White House source said early Tuesday morning.
Developing...

6. how can anyone take his info seriously

Developing...?

are you kidding?

[Lex]

8. I agree---people really think this was deliberate?

They are "investigating it?"

We are truly living in strange days indeed.

12. When You Need To Rile Up The Echo Chamber

This is the game the wingnuts play. Make a controversy where none exists or find a red herring in one that does and create such distortion and confusion that the main issue is long lost in the noise created by the uproar.

This is just one of several wingnut tactics I've been watching...trying to get something to rally the right wing base that is full of hate, but just haven't found one big thing to all hate together lately. Drudge is just doing his part.

[Al-CIAda]

9. CNN looks to be entertaining this bullshit. Cowards to the chickenhawk

noise machine.

[trotsky]

10. Oh good grief...

Of ALL the times to slap an "X" on the screen, the evil liberal CNN chooses a lame-o barely-watched DICK Cheney speech?

How many hours and hours have they covered President Poopypants with no X? How much more effective for the "liberal media agenda" would it have been to X the pretzeldent himself during a major speech?

Wingnut logic. Oy.

[KittyWampus]

18. "A well-placed CNN insider claims" LOL! So Rove's CNN Plant Is Anonymous

we all know the cable news channels have plants taking dictation from the WH and Rove.

Remember that crap with the yawning kid and Letterman?

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. All your element leaders are belong to us!

Thank god it wasn't time code. That's the signal for the Apocalypse.

How about we get in front of this. Own it. Make stickers of Cheney with black Xs on his face and just spread them around. Like thos Andre the Giant stickers we used to see. That should drive the brainwashed-unwashed into a "librul media conspiracy" tizzy.

[AlCzervik]

11. Wow Drudge has really lost his whatever he had, this is his big scoop?

thats pretty freakin hilarious when you think about. Bye bye drudge, maybe you could write for Newsmax.

[jsamuel]

13. sad... very sad

bye bye Druge

[JohnstownDEM]

17. Drudge...

...is a freakin idiot. Such a tool.

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. Did anyone here see this "X"?

I didn't watch the speech. I'd sure like to know who was so closely scrutinizing every frame from their TIVO in order to pick up a 1/15 of a second "X". That, in itself, sounds like a setup.

Let's see...they've done CBS, PBS, seems like there was something with MSNBC. Are they now going after CNN?

[johnfunk]

15. CNN demonstrating glitch NOW!!!!

With a tech director and Daryn "Limbaugh's Beard" Kagan. The computerized video switcher's software malfunctioned.

[jsamuel]

16. Great! Now they should call out all those who have been making up conspi

racy theories about it.

Especially FOX NEWS who has been attacking CNN.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. ROFL! Faux News claiming conspiracy through subliminals

Oh the IRONY!!!! :rofl:

[chat_noir]

20. The X-Files?

[No Exit]

22. AS IF CNN were some great bastion of democrat party appreciation!

In the future, Mr. Cheney will be referred to as "Official X".

Official A is, of course, Karl Pigface Rove. It is not yet known who are the Officials B-W.

[jsamuel]

23. dang the pics are gone

Here

[lonestarnot]

25. No X's in his eyes yet? For those of us with kids we know what that means

for those of you without dead pokeman had X's in their eyes. I thought maybe someone had X'd him from the conspiracy talk.
