Ideally no, but what if the page is just sucking bandwidth, while bringing in no money?

There's a valid reason for this. I used to manage CNET India so I know the situation.

In the case of wire feeds and syndicated content, there is usally a limit on the time period for which you can display them on your site. Almost nobody allows "archival rights". Which means that if your news story is older than, say, seven days, you have to remove it from your web site.

The explanation used on the site, however, is cryptic and should've been explained better.
