Why is my CNN Mobile website redirecting on IE?

[Windows Central Question]

CNN Mobile website redirecting on IE

After the Cnn website had an update, I haven't been able to access the m.cnn.com website through my phone. It just has a pop up saying "You need to install an app for this task" (see screenshot). It directs me to download one of 3 apps:
1) Lumia Creative Studio (YUP!!!!)
2) UC Browser
3) Incognito Browser

I downloaded UC browser and the website works on it. I tried turning off wifi and seeing if it works on IE, no dice. Desktop mode however does show the new CNN layout. But it is so laggy to scroll i cringe just thinking about it!!!!!

Anyone else have this issue or have any suggestions?
Yes, I cleared history. Yes I turned off data sense. I don't know what else to try. Would really appreciate it as the CNN app doesn't have all the news articles that the website does.

P.S. In the past, I had problems going yo the CNN money mobile site. Whenever I would click on the "money" tab on the mobile CNN website, it would redirect to m.money.com and that never worked either. Now the whole freaking website doesn't work. Ugh.

Works just fine for me. IE switches you out of m.cnn.com to cnn.com.

For some reason the redirect is not working on my phone... Instead that pop up is showing.

(I'm the op, btw)...

Hope someone can help. Attaching my firmware info.as well. I'm on Tmobile using Lumia 925. Thanks.

The new CNN web page is terrible on Wp8 on the Icon. It does not fully load or locks up. Is anyone using another method to view CNN content?

The mobile cnn web page works perfectly now with the Denim update on the Icon!
