X Marks the Bias III: Freedom of [Interfering With Coverage of the Vice President's] Speech

A CNN employee (who at least seemed to feel he was empowered to speak on behalf of the network) maintains the X'ing of Cheney's face - that "technological malfunction" which resulted from a non-replicable computer bug - was simply an example of CNN exercising their own 1st Amendment rights to make a point about Cheney and the Bush administration.

"The point of it is: Tell them to stop lying... If you don't like it, don't watch."

Curiouser and curiouser.

Bill Quick at Daily Pundit has the audio of the phone call.  Must listen.

Update:  Daily Pundit reports CNN has confirmed the authenticity of the call and fired the employee.
