I ended up doing this on Fedora core 5 because I was unable to access some sites - but CNN has always worked for me so I'm not sure if this is your issue...

tail -n 2 /etc/sysctl.cnf
# hack to fix problems with internet routers
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0

or as a command line test...

# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
