How much more could Google News be? See
"... a presentation that a German designer came up with that involved a wholesale redesign and re-thinking of what Google News is and does."
Lots of good stuff here. Particularly like how 'smart personalisation' is used to help penetrate the filter bubble:
"automatically suggest related stories on a news topic that are from a different perspective than the original — as a way of encouraging readers to expose themselves to alternative viewpoints."
... and aggregating user's social content related to news items:
"Google News could surface commentary on news events from individuals who are actually on the scene "
Why not? Perhaps because "Google News, like many other aspects of Google, is run by engineers and product managers, not by journalists "
