It's truly unbelievable that Microsoft has allowed low quality garbage news to proliferate the Windows UI, including generating notifications.
It's really quite embarrassing to see the low quality content and to imagine that somewhere within Microsoft a human actually made the decision to allow this content to flourish within the OS.
My guess is that there is some product manager at Microsoft who has a bunch of friends who are creating the interfaces and garbage content generation "news" feeds and they are simply milking this for profit before it gets turned off.
