Why is Google News recommending non-news YouTube videos?

Google News used to be a pretty good feed of stuff I wouldn’t have thought to look for. Now it’s trash. Social media reactions (Someone flips out & drops bombshell of a reply to SomeoneElse), the same old hyper targeted content (as if the only thing I read about are jets and astrophysics), and now I’m getting YouTube recommendations for garbage videos. Ugh.
