That's not quite correct. You can use the inurl: syntax with the Google 
news search, so
if you know the domain name of your source, you can restrict your search. 
For example,
if you wanted to find mentions of Hurricane Isadore across the various CNN 
properties,
you could use the search:

"hurricane isadore" inurl:cnn.com

If you wanted to restrict your search to CNN Asia, you could do that too:

"hurricane isadore" inurl:asia.cnn.com

I don't know what the company line is on this, but I found stuff in the 
database from
last August when I was experimenting with it this morning. Do this search 
and see
what you get:

"become tropical storm dolly"
