Best CMS for a NEWS site

[bimo]

(I have also asked this in marketing forum but not got a proper answer)
I'm going to start a news web site. But I do not prefer to use Wordpress as the CMS as google always considers WP platforms are blogs.
But I want to know other CMSs which I can publish feeds, commenting etc. and have most WP features on it.

Do you have any suggestions ?

I've looked at Joomla and Drupal quite a bit and rejected both of them for the following reasons:

Drupal: When you buy into a platform, you are buying into the forward compatibility of a platform, unless you like constantly redoing the application. Drupal's developers have absolutely no concept of forward compatibility, maintainability, or other concerns for their user base. In other words, it is a hobby, and I cannot see myself building a business application on top of a hobby. I have enough things going on in my life to worry about what the developers at Drupal are going to do next to break my application. It is a non-starter for me.

Joomla: Much more concern about forward compatibility but when compared to Wordpress, substantially more complexity with not much more functionality. Wordpress offers much more added functionality in stable add-ons, though the whole widget technology offered by Wordpress is somewhat unstable for me at this time. Basically, I have found that the more functionality Wordpress (or any CMS) adds, the more complexity, the more instability, and the greater problems with forward compatibility, as platform and third-party developers go crazy trying to keep all the pieces working together.

The one product that I found that seemed interesting, was ExpressionEngine, but their developers appear to be lost in another world right now, and I question their long-term viability unless they can get on track with a viable CMS strategy. The product seems to be stuck in a time warp, and the development support is more secretive than the KGB. Eventually, I gave up trying to convince myself to use the product.

On balance, my overall recommendation is to use Wordpress whenever possible. Good functionality, SEO, support, forward compatibility, security, stability. Can't say this about any of the other CMS engines out there.

drupal is easy for you, and joomla is too difficult to control.
