Cheney And The “X”

This is still a mystery. But WorldNetDaily reports

In an update this morning, however, the Drudge Report said a “well-placed CNN inside” claimed a control room staffer “laughed” when the image appeared. - WorldNetDaily

Michelle Malkin discusses this on her blog. And it contains the following information from “John L., a tv guy”

I can not in good conscience try to say what the X was, but I can tell you what it most certainly wasn’t. It wasn’t intentional. I can guarantee that.

In order for that to get on the screen, a human being sitting in front of a video switcher had to press a button that would put it up there, either intentionally or unintentionally. The person who would do this is referred to in the business as a technical director. I’ve done that job, and I can say with absolute certainty that one would have to be INCREDIBLY stupid to do this on purpose. I don’t care if Michael Moore’s kid is sitting in that control room…if he’s working for an outfit as large as CNN, he’s not going to risk his job for some stupid stunt.

I dunno Mr. John L. These ARE liberals we are talking about here after all. The same type of people that say “Bush lied” about WMDs when they themselves made the same conclusions years before President Bush was even in the White House?

Hey, MAYBE it really was a glitch. But maybe, just maybe, the truth is in the simplest answer.

The Poltical Teen also has more on the video.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.
