I turned off "Inline News" in the search settings as I try to stay away from the majority of mainstream news sources. It would be great if we could also customize what sources show up in it. If someone blocks CNN or Foxnews from their regular search results, it should also block those from showing up in the Inline News. Boosted news sites should also appear in the Inline News more often. It's a pretty useful feature but it's personally not worth using without customization.

Allow customization of Inline News

We should at least apply domain rank personalization to inline news widget. Not sure how to add further customization UI wise (not a lot of space for 'crystal orb' inside news widget)?

Vlad I think domain rank personalization covers most of the personalization I was looking for but for further customization, I believe toggles are the way to go instead of customization within the search results page. Since there is already a toggle to disable "Inline News" in search settings, further subset toggles underneath it would be a nice way for further customization.
Under the "Inline News" toggle, it'd be really great to see a toggle to only show news from the "News 360" lens and block all other news sites from showing, but whitelisting any boosted ones by a user. Another toggle under that one that would be really cool to have is the ability block the top 1000 most visited news domains, excluding any that were boosted by a user. This would allow for a nice combination where someone having "News 360" toggle enabled and "block top 1000 media domains" toggle at the same time would have a good mix of trustworthy mainstream news in their search results mixed in with smaller lesser viewed media companies that don't get as much exposure as they should.
