All the stories on the page right now, March 5 at 3:54 pm, are from January. Is the site in error or is it my cache?

If the site, by the time anyone reads this it will probably be corrected

Right. If you click on categories like US or World, the stories are current. But the red CNN button takes you to Jan 20. Russian interference? LOL

Huh. I was on there about half an hour ago, and all the stories I saw were from today: Warren dropping out, etc. I just now went back on there, and that’s still the case.

Yeah, I saw that earlier.  
It was 1/15/20 when I looked.  
The weird thing is - the headlines weren’t obviously anachronistic. It took me a while to confirm that it was a mistake.

I stopped watching TV at home long ago. Seen it all. On domestic travels, we see news stations playing in eateries, and with mostly the same stories over time. The same or interchangeable celebs with problems, dead folks, missing kids, corporate-political perps, cute critters, financial panics. Only differences: Trimp wasn’t so fat back then and “fuck” was bleeped. Is there a correlation?
