Google News without the bloated design

I like the idea, but I still can’t escape their too-aggressive targeting algorithm. I looked up that Gonzaga basketball game ONE TIME, I do not need additional in-depth coverage every time I check the news. Does anyone know how to clear that data out? I can hide stories and then select to ‘see less of’ a topic, but I’d prefer to clear out the positive attachments to topics, rather than creating new negative ones and just blacklisting Gonzaga forever.
