As topic says, does the News Fader disappear on mobile or is it a bug? Hmmm...

I don't think it's a bug, but intended (in the sense that if you are browsing on mobile, a news block at the top of the page would fill almost entirely the whole 1st/2nd "page" (scrolling) and may be found annoying by your users.
