Is Google News opt-out? I was under the impression there was a vetting process before sources could be allowed in, which makes whining about Google News rather silly. If you don't want in, then don't apply.
That said, I don't think the burden should be placed on the source to opt out of aggregators. Aggregators should be required to get permission before they start scraping your stuff or republishing your RSS feeds (provided your terms of service prohibit commercial republication).
I'm sick of griping about aggregators. If you don't want your site included in Google News opt out!
