anyone know how to bypass the mobile site redirection when going to CNN.com and go directly to the full site view on the iPhone? Previous I was using cnn.com/index.html which bypassed the mobile redirect for the last couple of years but recently it stopped working.
 
There is a link at the bottom of the page that says "Full Site". Click that and you'll get the full version. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to bypass the mobile version on-load, because it doesn't appear that CNN makes any browser cookies. I would email CNN support and tell them to get on it.
 
Get the CNN app, I believe it's free and it is a much better way to view CNN on the iPhone.

Just click on the Full Site link and then bookmark it. ;)
