Since the likely intent of such a hack would be "common" rather than the spelling they used, I'm thinking teabaggers.

Is anyone else getting that? I suppose it could be localized, but it is damn weird.

1. I just checked. I got the same thing.
It redirected me to a search page for cnn.commen. I could click on links to other pages within the CNN site, but not the home page. Their home page is hosed. It might be hackers. Could be. I know the DNS is not finding it.

6. Try this
http://edition.cnn.com/

It's working for me.

I always get redirected to it when I try to go to www.cnn.com but that's because I'm outside of America. Maybe it could work in reverse for anyone who's in the US and wants to get past the redirection you speak of?
