Facebook is a social media site, their whole business model is built off of user-engagement.
It's clear that their research has shown that there is less user-engagement when there are pages or people that post something that falls outside of a user's algorithmically-determined commenting habits.
It has nothing to do with the MSM or news. It's entirely irrelevant to the matter. In fact, if you actually had read the PR you'd have noticed it said businesses, brands, and media, not just media.
FB tried to adopt some of the popular aspects of Twitter, namely posts from pages people like/care about, and it backfired. Now they're returning to a more original model that focuses on personal friends and family in an attempt to increase levels of user-engagement.

Funny you mention business model because they did this for the good of their users, not their profits. Their stock dropped like 4% when they announced it. Just google it lol
