TVNewser carries CNN’s explanation, quoting a spokesperson as saying, “upon seeing this unfortunate but very brief graphic, CNN senior management immediately investigated. 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.”
And a “TVSpyer” gives Newser a more technical explanation: “Anyone who's been in TV for 5 minutes knows that the giant X on CNN is a black key frame the technical director uses to set the black level for animated keys and a cue point for animated keys. The X is at 7% black level and the background is at 0%. This is how the TD sets his key and how the tape op knows where to cue the tape. It accidentally went on air. Big deal. No conspiracy, no scandal.”

Where do you think Drudge got the photo of Cheney on CNN? Look, I agree that Drudge lacks credibility in a lot of ways, but this isn;t one of them...unless you tare asserting that Drudge concocted a phoney CNN photo.alienken said:Story is on http://www.drudgereport.com/ What a great example of media bias.

Yes, because Drudge has never pulled a Dan Rather:KCConservative said:Wait a second. Are you saying it didn;t happen and Drudge has made up this entire story? What if I said I saw it happen on CNN?
Come on, hipster, your credibility is showing.
The most famous was a libel lawsuit stemming from a 1997 report in which he said that incoming White House assistant Sidney Blumenthal beat his wife and was covering it up. Drudge retracted the story the next day, saying he was given bad information, but Blumenthal filed a $30 million libel lawsuit against Drudge. The libel suit was settled in 2001 when Blumenthal agreed to drop the charges if Drudge did not file counter-charges. The case lasted for about five years because the burden of proof was on Blumenthal to show that Drudge had printed the false report with actual malice (a precedent established in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan).

So, given that claim, what Fox News did here wasn't a "glitch", it was purposeful, right?Donkey1499 said:CNN admitted that there was an "X" over Cheney. Except they said it was a "glitch", but I know it wasn't. I've studied Mass Media, Journalism, and TV Production for three years; and a "glitch" like that doesn't happen. Especially with a big media company like CNN. And if there are "glitches" in the media, it's only when they accidentally switch to a commercial too soon. That "X" on Cheney was intentional. And the liberals would be all over Fox if they did it to Hilldabeast Clinton, so this isn't a one sided deal.

Kandahar said:You guys are hilarious. What possible purpose would have been served by intentionally placing an X over Cheney? Do you think that CNN thought that an X would win new converts to their agenda (whatever that is)? Do you think that CNN thought that they could place an X over Cheney on national television and not be called on it?
This is ridiculous, of course it was a computer bug. Either that or some cameraguy playing a joke. But evidence of bias? No.
