Articles on CNN frequently have an opening paragraph that is styled differently than others. Reader mode does not include this lead paragraph in its view. See, for example, http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/01/news/economy/poverty-inequality-united-states/index.html

Thanks for the report. This sounds like an issue with the Readability library, so I filed an issue here: https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues/281

Cannot reproduce anymore. The webpage[1] seems already changed. There is no opening paragraph there and the reader mode result is good. [1]: http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/01/news/economy/poverty-inequality-united-states/index.html

Gijs I see the same. I do know of cases where large sites to serve different markup to different regions.

I can reproduce the issue mentioned on Comment 3. Somehow the `<h2>The U.S. has long been heralded as a land of opportunity -- a place where anyone can succeed regardless of the economic class they were born into.</h2>` node is just removed by some kind of reason. Good thing is the algorithm chooses correct `topCandidate` (`<div id="storytext">`). Continue investigate the issue...
