Unregistered users are seeing blank because you have default Forum Permissions set where Unregistered Users cannot view Thread Content. AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Permissions -> Forum Viewing Permissions -> Can View Thread Content. Make sure this is set to yes for all Usergroups in News forums. I will add a plugin to override AdminCP settings in the next release.
For your other issue, have you modified the ces_news_comments template? There is no case that I have tested where you can have a disembodied Comments header without the corresponding "No Comments" message.
