Suppose there are two links someone has shared on Facebook. Both of these reached to the news feed of few peoples. But one link is a link from fashion blog and the other one is from a news website.
All types of peoples come to Facebook every day. Now think what types of peoples visit the link from fashion blog?

Facebook page of news websites can contain news on politics, entertainment, sports and so on. So peoples that are interesting in sports, entertainment, politics and so on may like the page of a news website.
But for a fashion page peoples only interested in fashion and for an entertainment page peoples only interesting to entertainment will like the page.
And did you think why news websites got more traffic than Google?
Just suppose an incident occurs which covered by lots of news websites and then they share the link on their Facebook page. When peoples see their link on Facebook, they may visit the web page that covered the news on their website.
But how peoples will search the news on Google? To search on Google, they need to know that the incident occurred that covered by the news websites. But from where they will know so that they can search? There is no source to know this and if they already know then the chances that they will search will be decreased as they already know about the incident. That is the reason news websites getting more traffic than Google.
Well, the total traffic sending to all website are most from Google, but for news websites, Facebook sends more traffic than Google. Even after I developed and set up a news website for one of my clients, I can see that they started getting desirable traffic from Facebook, but almost no traffic from Google just within few days.
So I hope you have understood why Facebook is the best traffic source for news websites.
