Good grief, you weren't kidding.

Page size is 11.64MB without any ad blocking and 3.91MB with. For a 3 image article with ~600 words 3.91MB is still a bit much.

I find news sites to be consistently horrid in terms of bloat. One of the reasons I switched from NoScript to uMatrix is the latter has a scrollbar because using NoScript on CNN would end up with the menu literally blowing past the bottom of my screen.

I'm not familiar with website development to know whether you're being sarcastic or not. Is it actually a good thing?

Not at all. You can design a beautiful “modern” site with orders of magnitude less resource requirements with ease.
