I can already see the ads, so I am not certain if the below will help.
news search [android]
Google: (gl=us) http://www.google.com/news?q=android&&gl=us&complete=0&search=News
via hidemyass: (read Philipp's caveat) http://hidemyass.com/?http://www.google.com/news?q=android&&gl=us&complete=0&search=News
