showDescription is the way you should enable/disable this, but it seems there is a bug in the current version of mm, see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2517

@mattx38 in config.js, did you use false in quotes?

showDescription:"false"

this is incorrect

true or false do NOT use quotes
it should be

showDescription: false

Thank you.
Why do I need to modify the custom.css rather than the config.json ?
In other words, why isn’t it working ?

@mattx38 it would not be “false” in quotes.
that is a string, and it’s value is true regardless of it’s contents

you can put this into css/custom.css file:

.newsfeed-desc {
  display: none;
}
