My experience as Google News publisher and user has shown the Google News ranking algorithme is heavily biased towards time of publishing of the article. This leads to a CNN story published 1 day ago about topicX to be ranked lower compared to a AC article on topicX published one hour ago.
In this case she searches for an "old" topic, hence its algorithme ranks the newest published article as most relevant, dispite its low quality compared to the older onces.
