Certainly sounds like a glitch, to me. I think several, unknown at this time, people need to be fired and never permitted to work in TV again.

Vice President Dick Cheney had his face covered by a mysterious giant "X" during CNN's live coverage of his speech from the American Enterprise Institute today.

According to the Drudge Report, the "X" over Cheney's face "appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect."
A screen capture by Drudge notes that while one "X" flashed over Cheney's face, CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."
"This is the vice president of the United States. It is rather serious to be putting black 'Xs' over his face," Matt Drudge said on tonight's "Hannity & Colmes" program on the Fox News Channel. "I felt it rather alarming that this is subliminally being sent out over the airwaves. ... I'm just knocked out."
When asked if he thought it was evidence of the so-called liberal media, Drudge answered, "I don't know. Is CNN liberal?"
The TVNewser website obtained a statement from a CNN spokesperson, who explained: "This was a technological malfunction, not an issue of operator error. A portion of the switcher experienced a momentary glitch."
"It glitched over and over again, huh?" Drudge responded. "The timing of the glitch is interesting."
