Fox News has the same problem with Flash Player. It turned out it was
something to do with the way they are running advertising. In that case,
using the Greasemonkey script that kills the ads (Foxnews Friendly Ads)
gets things working again. That doesn't appear to be the case with CNN
though - but I'd bet it's something similar.

I'm using the latest beta of Flash Player 9.

Cheers,
