cnn.com method of page construction seems to defeat mozilla.  I have seen this
on numerous cnn.com web pages.

Basically the word wrap appears to be dictated by the right side advertisement
when viewed with IE.  With Mozilla reading the article requires significant
horizontal scrolling.

Mozilla view=> http://home.ptd.net/~wesley01/mozilla_bug002.jpg



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the web page
2. Notice the large horizontal scrolling component


Actual Results:  
See:

I am making the severity "major" since cnn.com is one of the most popular sites
on the internet.
