I'm pretty sure I would have heard something from at least one of my
Road-Runner using sources, who visits CNN hourly.

We have a local Akamai cluster installed at our office and haven't noticed
any issues, so it wouldn't appear to be a network-wide thing.  Perhaps
whatever cluster serves your address space has a failing system, and you
have that IP cached, so you keep noticing it?

If you view the source of one of the pages, you can see the URL at Akamai
it's calling - do an nslookup and see if you get multiple IP's returned?
I see:

$ dig a772.g.akamai.net
;; ANSWER SECTION:
a772.g.akamai.net.      11      IN      A       207.195.205.23
a772.g.akamai.net.      11      IN      A       207.195.205.21
...

So I get multiple IP's in my address space back - see if you can reboot
(windows) and force a new DNS query, or force it through Linux in your
hosts file or something.
