Have you tried something like this:

Holding down control key while on offending page and scrolling the mouse
wheel? I tested this on the pages you listed myself and the font sizes on
Google & Yahoo were re-sized while CNNs remained the same. It is quite
possible you had the control key pressed by accident while you were browsing
and messed it up. Give it a whirl and lemme know!
