At least there are 20+ years worth of chances for it to have been easily archived. CNN was one of the sites that was big enough to need load balancing back in the HTTP 1.0 days, so their main `www.cnn.com` would redirect you to a `www{2..8}.cnn.com` URL that the Wayback Machine usually doesn't have cached, leaving you empty-handed when you have a link to an old article. To find archives of articles they deleted 20 years ago you have to hope it's been cached via one of the IP address, e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20020309034530/http://64.12.50.249/2001/US/09/28/inv.message.warning/ https://web.archive.org/web/20020309034530/http://64.12.50.2...
