More on "X-Gate"?

Over at JackLewis.net, Danny Carlton has posted on the CNN X-Affair. You can read his perspective (he has done lots of work in broadcasting) here.

Here is an excerpt:

I've seen some people claiming a person would have had to have intentionally put that on the air. I can assure you that stuff like that can and does happen in spite of the best intentions of the technical people to keep it from happening. My guess is that while one technical person was cueing up the tape, another inadvertently put the key (the superimposing of the image on the tape) over the live shot. Now, I don't buy CNN's excuse that it was a "technical" problem, because to me it looks like someone simply screwed up. And while mistakes do happen, a place as big as CNN can darn well insist that they never happen, and would more than likely fire whoever screwed up (which may be why the technical people are telling the suits that a machine did it).
