How to the “Suggested For You” feature of Google News be disabled

google-news

For the last couple of months Google News has been offering me a section entitled "Suggested for you", containing one news item. This occurs when I am logged into my Google account on any browser on any machine.

So far, every single day, it has suggested an item in which I have no interest whatsoever. It is time consuming and irritating to click 'No' on the "Are you interested?" question every day.

I cannot find anywhere in any settings menu the facility to remove "Suggested for you" completely. I can only find options to re-enable the suggestions that I have blocked – which currently runs to well over 100 items.

Is there a setting somewhere to remove this item?
