Update (5:16AM Pacific): Sounds like the video pretty much isn't working for anybody. Thanks for checking!
Original post: So I'm doing some research for a video I plan to post on Sunday about some of Bush's statements in the run-up to his final admission that we are in the middle of the Bush Recession, and I'm running into a problem playing videos at CNN.com.
I get this message saying that
"The video system was not able to establish connectivity due to a Proxy/Firewall or network connectivity."
At the moment, I'm logging on via a Comcast cable modem.
I know it's not anything with my PC, because I've played CNN video before on this PC (a laptop), and I've also had no problems with any other video service at all today.
So I'm wondering if there is some sort of an issue between Comcast and CNN. I sort of doubt that there is, but I know Comcast has worked hard to undermine net neutrality, so it wouldn't be a great shock.
Anyway, I wonder if some of you might be willing to check out this video and tell me if it plays for you:
I'm sure there's probably some strange little quirk going on that will explain the issue, but it'd be nice to rule out the possibility that Comcast is playing games.
Thanks!
