Am I the only one who finds this very frustration. To look at CNN news
you need one secret and FoxNews another secret, This does not speak well
for FC6 being a stable useful distribution. I know it is not supposed to
be. But there are limits it seems to me of how screwy even a Fedora
distribution is before it is worth releasing. And FC6 is the worst yet.
My FC4 and I assume my FC5 system can do both CNN news and FoxNews.

Aaron, have you written to Fox news and CNN? Let them know that you
want to view their content but cannot. Explain to them how they are
blocking you. That's the only way to get them to change.

It ismore effective to write to the advertisers on Fox and CNN, simply explain if you can't get the news content you will not go to the site and not see the ads.
