CNN Explains Cheney’s X
Nov 23, 2005 at 7:22 AM by Political Chase
CNN just released a report explaining the "X" flashed across the screen during Cheney’s speech. The "X" appeared for one-seventh of a second - how anybody caught that by just watching the screen is beyond me.
The "X" image, a place-holding marker used by technicians to cue up graphics, is not supposed to be visible to viewers but was inadvertently projected onto the screen by a malfunction in a "switcher" device, they explained.
Certainly other broadcasters employ the same technology and can call CNN’s bluff if their explanation is not technically accurate - they can’t be that stupid.
