I tried all the rest
Apple News, Prismatic, Currents, Flipboard, Pulse, Feedly, you name it... They can all safely be deleted now. Why? Very simple. Thumbs up topics to make them appear more. Thumbs down an article ... And it asks you WHY... Which makes for a great mute filter.
For example, I want local news, but not crime news... Before, the two were inseparable. With this, I can mute the sensationalist crime news but still hear about the city tax hike.
