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.

    For some reason, doing the "hide stories from" usually works, but STUPID DISGUSTING FOX NEWS ALWAYS COMES BACK EVEN AFTER I PERMANENTLY BLOCK IT. Don't give your lame description of how this "permanently" works when it only "permanently" works for certain blocked organizations. But since you guys at Microsoft ignore us when we try to block Fox, and you just put it back into the feed, it's time to block every Microsoft product where an alternative is available. Either truly allow me to block Fox, or I will block you.

    Hello,

    That's a very good suggestion, and I can definitely appreciate it! I'm going to make a note of it. I'd also recommend that you send in your thoughts, as well. You can do this by going to the "..." in the top right corner, scrolling down to "Help and Feedback", and then clicking on "Send Feedback". Once you do, you'll be able to send the team your suggestions. While I can definitely forward your notes, it also helps boost visibility when the team gets messages straight from the users, as well!

    I appreciate your chatting with me about this, and if you have any other questions, please let me know. Have a good day!

    Hi Ben,

    Why isn't there an option to select the sources people are actually interested in, rather than being forced to unsubscribe from so many "news" sources?

    Or better yet, remove the news completely without removing the O365 feed.
