It seems CNN does not like its employees to tell the truth! The "X Marks the Spot" on Cheney on CNN was apparently intentional, not a computer glitch. Since it was so quick, CNN was hoping that a subliminal message would be sent, but no one would notice it.
Silly CNN! They forgot about Tivo! Where you can actually dissect a video stream frame by frame.
The Switchboard operator allegedly told a caller:
"We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, Bush and Cheney," the CNN operator said to a caller. "Bring our soldiers home."
Which is kind of a refreshing breath of air. And for their trouble, and honesty, CNN had to fire them (did not even take a Rather Inquisition to do it either!).
Chalk another one up for the 'unbiased' Mainstream Media!
