Some more information on this specific case: cnn.com’s main page has
some code like this:

if (window.device.isAndroid) {
    $( '.android-link' ).removeClass('hide');
}

where window.device.isAndroid is true whenever the lowercased user-agent string 
matches /android/.
So unless we remove the android token from the UA, we will always get the 
banner.

Note that removing the android token from the UA (with a UA override
rule) gets us redirected to cnnmobile.com, which seems to have issue
displaying some images.
