CNN paywalled?

Tried to look at a CNN NON SUBSCRIBER ONLY article and got blocked, saying I was "out of free articles".

Fuck you, CNN

and they were heading in this direction. Could not believe it. The "content" they are charging for is mosty RW BS too. Glad that I deleted it. msnbc.com is much better with a wider variety of stories and no paywall.
