Stop "Now" News Cards Notifications?

[AC Question]

I have "stories and videos" turned OFF in Settings > Google > Search & Now > Now Cards. In spite of this I keep getting notifications on my phone about stuff like the primary elections.

Any idea how I turn this freaking crap off? Without turning off all Now notifications? Am I doing it from the wrong place?

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! Do you want to continue getting those cards at all? If not, the next time you see one, tap the 3 vertical dot button at the upper right and tell Google Now that you're not interested.
