XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE NOV 22, 2005 11:54:02 ET XXXXX CNN: 'IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN RE-CREATE TO SHOW YOU HOW IT HAPPENED'... 'IT WAS A COMPUTER BUG' CNN on Tuesday morning hoped to explain how and why a black 'X' flashed over Vice President Dick Cheney's face during a live speech. The startling 'X' flashes over Cheney's face were first revealed by the DRUDGE REPORT. One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN. "Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?" CNN transcript: CNN anchor/reporter Daryn Kagan: "I have come back into the control room because we want to explain something to you that happened on this newscast yesterday. During our live coverage of a speech by Vice President Dick Cheney there was a technical malfunction, you'll see it here. It involved a switcher, something we call a switcher. It's a machine that we use to switch between visual elements. Now, that glitch resulted in that 'X' that you saw being flashed briefly across the screen as the vice president was speaking. The story has made it on to the internet and various blogs in there. In response, CNN has issued this statement. 'Upon seeing this unfortunate but very brief graphic, CNN senior management immediately investigated. We concluded this was a technical malfunction not an issue of operator error.' Joining me to explain what happened Steve our CNN director of technical operations. We're putting you on the hot seat here. People at home are watching Vice President Dick Cheney. What happened? What were we trying to create behind the scenes? At the end of the speech the plan was to do, to have a CNN logo up on the screen and use that as the way of getting back from the speech back to you on camera and one of the many graphics we use here at CNN.
