Everyone should be responsible enough to install Ad-Blocker[1] in their browser. It's free, open source, easy, and extremely effective. Authorize ads on a case-by-case basis only on domains you deem worthy. It will change your web experience for the best, and you'll be doing the right thing.
Also do not link to CNN directly unless it is absolutely necessary, in case some fool doesn't have adblocker.
The problem I see with this boycott/ban of CNN (apart from the fact it is a collective measure which negates the individuals' own responsibility) is that it entails a list that is likely to grow[2] in the future. It sets a dangerous precedent.

Why wouldn't this get its own thread for discussion? This "discussion" had a huge selection bias because people who don't see what CNN does as a conspiracy (because it's not) wouldn't bother to go into that thread.
