Seems that the mobile view of the site was designed to fit only with a predefined fixed width. If the mobile browser's window width is greater or lower than the predefined width, the page will appear deformed.

Vivien, is this fixable from fennec side?

Nothing, this bug also happened if you change your Firefox desktop user agent to looks like Fennec's one.
I suggest to make this bug an evangelism bug.

But can you reach this page now from cbsnews.com front page - on a mobile? Loading it even redirects you to the front page. Closing.
