I keep getting content that I do not want.
Ie: I do not want anything from Newsweek, Washington Examiner, Fox News or other tabloid 'news' sites.
How do I block them?
I need to either block these bad sites or uninstall Edge.

Each news item should have an ellipsis ⋯ in the bottom right-hand corner. Click on it to Hide content from that source.
Microsoft Bing seems determined to force feed us news stories that are objectional. In the case of Fox, we are getting their jaded propaganda that doesn't even qualify as factual news. Washington Examiner is another one where each and every story is fabricated with a far right perspective and agenda. Since Microsoft fills their news page up with overtly biased news, it seems they could provide some way of blocking the bias that you most dislike. I guess we should all find another homepage.
The "hide stories from" and "not interested in this story" options do not work. I've hidden several news sites and stories and they still pop up in my feed.
Exactly!
Even though my list of blocked outlets (E! and all variants, People, Wonderwall, anything to do with royalty.) Bet it individual stories or sites, my feed regurgitates them over and over and over. Inescapable. "Hide" feature is useless. Stuck with FAR too many Britney Spears or Kardashians stories with which must keep up (?)
How can my blocked outlets truly 'stick' and prevent me from having to see? (or at minimum, blocking a story/headline....how can I cease seeing once and for all after declaring lack of interest AND requesting to block the site?)
This is a bald-faced lie, Firedog. I've attached a screen capture, taken moments ago in Microsoft Edge, of what happened when I clicked the three little dots in the lower right-hand corner of a Fox News article. You will note, the only options that appear in the drop-down menu are "save for later," and "report an issue." There is no way to block Fox News. For years, we've had to put up with Microsoft firehosing us with an endless stream of noxious right-wing effluvia from Fox News, Newsmax, Newsweek, and the Washington Times. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft. I'm switching back to Firefox.
Hello Ben - there is not a "..." option on any article in my news feed. This option has finally appeared on the new Microsoft Start app on the iOS, but it does not appear when viewing news on Edge. Attached are the screen shots - one of the Edge version (I am running the latest) and one of today's feed.
