i've had problems seeing the complete site i.e. it often appears like raw text before css formatting is applied. by any chance do you use a hosts file and/or Little Snitch and/or netbarrier and/or certain blocked cookies in any of your browser settings? I have alot of the galldarned cookie-setting ad sites blocked in various of these mentioned above and I think it might possibly sometimes have something to do with those .... that's my best guess based on my own experiences w/ this stuff. I also use camino and firefox with addons like adblock, flashbock and noscript to block crap and bad things and I believe a combo off all these affect poorly designed overly complexified site features like those at msnbc.
let us know if you think this is also part of your 'beneath the hood' experience -- and good luck!
