Ad words aside, Google News is incredibly bad at aggregating fake news/farmed content into their real news feeds.
For a lot of the news categories Google thinks or knows I like, I get tons of headlines from questionable news sources, and the last time I looked, their preferences wouldn't let me blacklist repeat offenders from showing up in my main headlines feed.

If you're logged in, click "Personalize" at the top-right, then type in the publication's name under "Adjust Sources", click + (if it's found) to add it to your customized sources list, then drag the frequency slider for that source all the way to the left. I'm not sure if this precisely blocks it, but it should mostly get it out of your Google News feed.
