Google News cookie/login barrier

I just tried adding Google News feeds for the first time yesterday.

I don’t seem to be able to see most contents. I get a cookie banner and a login button, but neither seems to do anything.

The screenshots (two part, vertically split) show what turns up in the Original and Story views. The Text view isn’t much different. The Feed view has the headline e as clickable link but nothing else.

is this what I should be seeing? Or is there a way to get past the cookie and login barrier (happy to log in if I can figure out how)? Is there any way to see the article in NewsBlur?

Thanks!
