'Mark Zuckerberg has been transparent about his goal to monopolize digital news distribution. “When news is as fast as everything else on Facebook, people will naturally read a lot more news,”' Oh lord.

I actually wrote an FF plugin to hide that right bar, since I would now and then get sucked in by that crap and waste 15 minutes reading about Lindsey Lohan or whatever.
