Text Only CNN

I've been using http://lite.cnn.com for quite a long time now. I think it's the same site as cnn.io, as they do look identical.

Keep in mind that they don't show all of their articles. So you miss a lot if you only go to the text-only pages.

BUT if you care to notice the URL, it's very easy to convert a graphical site link to a text-only one. The fact that there isn't already a plugin to do it automagically is a surprise to me.

This is great!

CNN has really pissed me off the past few years, not because of their reporting, which I love. But with their insane in-your-face ads and auto play vids, scroll-jacking, clickbaity links to cheesy spammy sites, etc.

A terrible web interface to what is otherwise top-end journalism.

It's generally good, but a couple of notes:

1) It can freeze up for days at a time with no new material.

2) Some articles make heavy references in the text to the images that you cannot see!
