LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - CNN apologized on Tuesday and offered a rare explanation from its control booth for a technical glitch many viewers failed to notice -- a large "X" the network flashed over Vice President **** Cheney's face.

Source.

If I saw this on television, I would probably check to see if it was The Daily Show. If it was, I would be appalled at the horridness of the humor. If it wasn't, I'd just flat-out lose it. Seeing as though CNN is a liberal network, this could spark some serious questions about whether or not it actually was an accident. I'm confident that it was. Although I'll admit, either way, I don't care.

And yes, I do agree that it's sad that we can't even say the Vice President's first name without it getting filtered.

One tends to forget CNN is not a living entity but rather a company made up of human employees; it is entirely possible some kid working graphics just hates Cheney and did that, and managed to accidentally put it on air

Very observant. Even though that has nothing to do with whether or not I create the topic, very observant.
