I talked to the tech guy at Easynews and he said there was a routing
glitch that is affecting all news providers. They know what the
problem is, they don't know what is causing it.

It's somewhere along the major traffic circuits and apparently it's
not a big priority for the major traffic carriers to find and fix.

By the way, that NatGeo show on the icebreaker/container ship is
really interesting.
