This definitely needs improvement. I click on a news story from my notifications about an Afghan man arrested for a planned terrorist plot on election day expecting a video and news article on the subject only to get the news article coupled with a video on completely different topic. Very very distracting. The video should match the article. Please, do one or the other, not both.

A decent app most of the time, however, I turned notifications on so I could hear tornado warnings and ended up getting news alerts such as, "A married couple lost their wedding topper. You won't believe where they found it," and sports news that I care nothing about. It would be nice if I could choose the topics I am interested in following instead of their random alerts. It's so annoying and bordering on being a menace.
