...televised Dick Cheney's speech attacking Iraq-war critics last week, a black X flashed across his face for a total of 0.14 seconds. It took outraged conservatives only slightly longer to post allegations of media bias, with THE FILTHY ONE dubbing CNN "the al-Jazeera of the West." But skeptics accepted the network's apology for the glitch--"a dumb one," noted blogger MICHELLE MALKIN--after some graphic-savvy sleuthing at THE DAN REPORT.
