Google News: How to exclude topics like “Pistorius”, “Lindsay Lohan”, “Casey Anthony”, “Charlie Sheen”, “Justen Bieber”, etc

google-news

I use http://news.google.com/.

I would occasionally like to exclude topics from appearing in the "Top Stories" section. Some example topics are "Lindsay Lohan", "Justen Bieber", "World Series", "Superbowl", "Oscar Pistorius".

I know that I can receive Less news from certain news sources such as mtv.com, but can I receive less news about a particular topic?

Under "News for you – Edit personalization", I've set "Entertainment" and "Sports" to never, yet entertainment and sports stories still creep through.

I got tired of waiting for this feature to come to google so I wrote a Chrome Extension that does it for me. Try it out and see if it fixes it for you.
