The problem is more likely Dansguardian, I'd think.  MythVideo and 
MythWeather expect to parse an html file formatted in a particular way, 
I believe.  If Dansguardian is performing substitutions (removing ads, 
rewriting URLs, etc), this could screw up Myth.  Rather than remove 
your proxy from the loop, I'd just configure Squid to not pass content 
from msnbc.com or imdb.com through Dansguardian, but to simply return 
it unfiltered.
