Because this is a completely wrong approach.
If you read TSref about RECORDS, you will find out that:

conf.blah is responsible for the rendering of records from a certain table
"blah".
These are in your case taken from the table tt_content and they are just the
containers of a tt_news plugin you inserted in the backend form.
Means: If you change anything at all with your TS you just change the
rendering of the containers this way but not the rendering of the plugin.
