Just no. Apparently there's been an update, and said update has done away with very reason I like "Google News" in the first place. The text on one side and a tiny picture has been replaced by a monstrous photo more than four times the size of the old one which takes up the entire screen and makes it almost impossible to focus on the text title below. Also, the "For You" is just generic sports and politics, no local news, no articles on my favorite topics. Completely worthless now.

It's not part of my Assistant routine, but Assistant still includes it (i guess it's Headlines, but it's more Top News) in the morning. I've looked at every setting short of deleting News outright - everything is off. When it runs, I'm practically shouting at Assistant to "cancel/stop". I'm a READER, i don't want News audible, period/full stop -- and dammit i want to CHOOSE when i access news, not when Nanny decides it.

I can't exactly say what's changed with this app over the years, other than it's gotten objectively worse. Feels like most of the articles in the trough now are just aggregate AI-generated garbage, and the tools the app gives you to manage content are either terrible or outright don't work. Just another Google service that's deteriorated over time.
