How to block Live TV windows on CNN, NY Times, LA Times

[Rhudi]

I can't post a screen shot. I noticed there are two things called "Watch Live TV". At the extreme bottom right is a box that when clicked opens a new page. That is not the problem.
The problem is "Live TV" that's showing a thumbnail of what's on CNN TV right now. The thing that is eating bandwidth.

add

Code: Select all

cnn.com##.media__video--live
cnn.com##.cn__title.cn__title--muted-player

which are hiding filters, so ...are not blocking all the objects ..but (as you noted) if you block the object (turner ..swf) you'll block all the videos

Those worked! Thanks. Is it easy to describe how you figure out which string to block? I tried to view-source and see if I could.

use EHH (element hiding helper), it's very easy to find the necessary filters

FWIW, here are all the filters I now use to fight CNN:

Code: Select all

cnn.com##.cn__title.cn__title--muted-player
cnn.com##.media__video--live
cnn.com##.m-ticker__bug.m-ticker__bug--cnn-go
cnn.com##.m-ticker__copy

Many newsites have taken to running windows with live television (or live ads) on their main pages. I'd like to know how to block these windows, or at least stop the "liveness" which distracts my eyes and makes it difficult to read at the same time. Can someone help me with this?
