Why can't news sites just report the news? Why do they need to tell me what to think about it?

You're thinking of a wire service. Associated Press for example is what you want. TechCrunch is a blog and it's completely normal for blogs to be editorialized.

What bothers me about this is not injecting an opinion (it's TechCrunch) but the superficial and ignorant take.
Julius Caesar was not just some "violent dictator" like a Hitler, Stalin, or Putin. He wasn't sending people off to gas chambers, gulags, or out of windows. He was famous for his clemency toward his enemies in the civil war which made him dictator.
Even the title of "dictator" was a legal office in ancient Rome and meant something very different from the modern usage.
Zuck admiring Julius Caesar (which doesn't mean endorsing all his actions) puts him in the company of many of the most successful, ethical, and well informed people in history
