How to block news channels, or domains, on Microsoft Edge news feeds

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.

    Anything with [sitename] - from the web as it's source can't be blocked, it seems. This is incredibly annoying as virtually all of the "from the web" items in my feed are low quality garbage (prime example: ussanews). It would be great if there was a way to block these--there are enough of them now that switching my home page to Google News is probably a better option than the Edge feed.

    Most of the items in my newsfeed either have 3 dots at lower right corner or clearly say AD. The one exception is ussanews.com that I have been unable to figure out how to block, despite multiple attempts. As you can see, there are now options on this block. Using Version 100.0.1185.44 (Official build) (64-bit) on Surface Pro 6.

    Google changed their news so you can only block source not by name or subject.

    I have clicked on "hide" and no longer receive the trash from Salon, MSNBC or CNN and some of the other so called "news sources". Unfortunately, the empty spaces are soon filled by other unknown, unheard of, woke radicals.
