More Drudge bias: still no mention of text beneath "X" over Cheney
Drudge is continuing on with his story about how a big "X" flashed over Cheney's face for like 1/15th of a second, and how some guy laughed about it in the control room and it's supposed to mean people at CNN are biased or playing jokes or something. Also mentioned is how CNN is saying they can't reproduce the problem though it's a bug, which is left out there to look weird like their explanation doesn't make any sense.

And yet what he has repeatedly failed to mention throughout this story is that there is some text beneath the "X" which really does point to it being an artifact of some TV technology:

Even though it is hard to read this text, it is still apparent that there is some text. That he's been on this story for so long without even questioning what it says shows a blatent bias.

1. During The Black Death in the Middle Ages
Didn't they used to mark houses with the plague with a BIG "X"?

Think they did...Hmmm...

2. It must be pretty bad for him right now if the "X" thing is all he's got.
At least he's getting the usual "outrage" reaction out of the freepers. LOL.

4. I noticed the text right away when it was first posted
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5426016&mesg_id=5426029

What is Drudge's problem? The Republicans just need a controversary to make it seem like the mean Liberal media is picking on the Bush Administration. They should get a life!

Since it's obviously a glitch.

7. CNN & technical difficulties: question
Isn't this the same network that ran the audio of the guy yelling "drop the ballons! where are the baloons?!! drop the baloons!" at the Democratic convention last year?

9. I believe so...
CNN needs to hire at least a few better-qualified techies...they're my network of choice and starting to annoy me!
