Facebook Grabs at News Biz Online readers get 40% of their news through Facebook, according to estimates. At least, that’s where people find the news. Click on a link and you’re launched from Facebook onto the New York Times, Buzzfeed or even KCRW.org . But Facebook doesn’t like it when you click and go to another website.
