I have a workable fox for Fox News.

1) Download Greasemonkey from http://www.greasespot.net
2) Download and install the Fox News Friendly Video script for
Greasemonkey (you should be able to do a search for it)

This makes the video play normally, with the added benefit of killing
the advertisements.

It doesn't work with CNN's new Flash video though. All I get are the
commercials as well - with no actual story...

Cheers,

Chris
