Not really, a lot of calibre produced news feeds are better than the Amazon ones. Some are worse, but all they need is a little love. The fundamental philosophy of the way calibre and Amazon go about it is different. IIRC, Amazon requires the news publishers to provide their content to it in a special XML format, which it then auto converts to MOBI.
calibre, being so much more powerful, just converts the existing web site of the news publisher. Since the calibre approach doesn't require any work from the publisher, it tends to usually end up with more features/formatting, since publishers generally put a lot of effort into their web sites.
