Because, by about 8:30am CST, cnn.com was mostly
unresponsive. *Everyone* was trying to look at it. Think of the
Slashdot Effect(tm) times a thousand. So people were looking elsewhere
for any information collected by CNN.
Or so I'd guess. I just remember CNN inadvertantly got DOS'd by a
news-starved public in short order that morning.
