There's no "most" here. Sentence one is correct, and sentence two is wrong.
We treat "news" as an uncountable noun, so even if it's several reports, we still treat news as "it". The news is good.

There are special nouns, and one of this is the word news. Special nouns always take the singular verb. Other special nouns: Mathematics, measles. Hope that helps! ^_^
