Yes. It's possible.
But cnn.com and bbc.com are not a good example because they are behing IPv6 nodes (Thanks to some CDNs)

I used github.com as a current example though and you can see it works in my network.
If there is a way for an IPv6 computer to connect to websites with no IPv6 addresses, how could it possibly happen transparently? Transparently?No. But at least you have several transition mechanisms such as NAT64+DNS64 . I used both in some networks like the one in my example.
And yes, I have some devices running IPv6 only and I have IPv4 at the edge only of that network.
