Good news & bad news.

Bad News:
CNN.com is now completely blocked by Thai (junta) government.
Try http://cnn.com/ by yourself, you will be paused for a minute, then got a *fake* error message, “504 Gateway Timeout”.

Good News:
You can still access it via proxy servers abroad,
-OR- use “Tor” router program - an efficient way to circumvent Internet censorship.
