I am confused how reading a news story in a certain window of time could serve as evidence or probable cause or reasonable suspicion of anything. Seems utterly bizarre.

I think maybe they have a phone, with the story in the browser history, and they want to link it to a wifi point.

That seems plausible but I would think that there could be a lot of other sites the person visited that would be easier to track down. Maybe that’s what they did and the reason they’re dropping this subpoena.

This is just a charitable guess. A guess with equal probability to anything.

Another guess is they want a precedent to subponea Fox News readers and classify people by political opinion. Albeit less charitable, it has equal probability.
