You will see a DOS screen. Then type the following:
ping cnn.com

Copy paste the results, Beirut.

Maybe CNN is IP blocking Canada? It could happen. They've never apologized for Celine Dion or Bryan Adams. They deserve whatever happens to them.

Now now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.

If it makes you feel better, a ping of CNN.com got the same time out from my end, while totalwar.org came out fine.

edit: however firefox and IE both have no problems getting to it... strange.

Many sites have their routers/firewalls ignore ping requests to help against DoS attacks. That's probably the reason you're getting time outs.

Can you access it through a proxy, like www.ftunnel.net?

How are you trying to "get" there? A Favorites link? If so, maybe that's mangled. If you type in 'C N N' into google, does it take you there?
