User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20151001175629

Steps to reproduce:

I went to this page: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/10/07/one-third-vegetarians-eat-meat-when-get-drunk/ and I clicked the Reader View icon in the awesome bar


Actual results:

The page showed a lot of what looks like auto-generated comments from the CMS, maybe? Text like "{* #resendVerificationForm *}" "{* resendVerification_emailAddress *}" and "{* newPasswordFormButton *}". There is also some text for the operational part of the page, like "We just sent an email to your account to verify your email address. Check your inbox and click on the link to confirm your account." The title of the article is shown, but none of the content.


Expected results:

The title of the article should be shown, and the content of the article should be shown. None of the navigation text should be shown. The text that looks like auto-generated CMS stuff should not be shown.
