The president came in for withering mockery online for the harsh black and red backdrop, with many comparing the optics to \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cV for Vendetta.\u201d While networks like CNN, MSNBC, CBS and C-SPAN carrying the speech all originally appeared consistent, CNN noticeably altered the color of the background from red to pink in real-time. Eagle-eyed cable news watchers pounced on the shift. The story was reported in Mediaite, which put the CNN footage up side-by-side against other networks, showing that the CNN switch was not a technical problem that hit all networks. \u201cCNN appears to have tweaked the video of Biden\u2019s speech from demonic red to Pepto-Bismol pink. Very helpful, as we needed a lot of Pepto-Bismol to get through this!,\u201d said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee . A rep for CNN said the issue was caused by a technical glitch with the CBS pool feed. Though Biden promised to deliver a unifying speech on the \u201cbattle for the soul of the nation,\u201d he was blasted by partisans as divisive and fear-mongering. Many latched on to his claims that \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d were a threat to the country \u2014 something the president later walked back. \u201cI don\u2019t consider any Trump supporters a threat to the country,\u201d he told Fox News Friday. \u201cI do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, refuses to acknowledge an election \u2026 changing the way you count votes, that is a threat to democracy.\u201d NEWS COLLECTED FROM NEW YORK POST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, Broadcasting news corporation : CNN is facing questions from critics after the network was busted altering the lighting for President Biden\u2019s Thursday address, softening the blood-red hues to calmer shades of pink.
