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.

    Hello,

    My name is Ben, and I'm here as a Community Manager on behalf of Microsoft Edge. I would like to discuss this issue further, as I completely understand the importance of curating your news feed. The first thing I would like to affirm is the option to choose the "Hide Stories From" selection. On any given article, there will be a "..." button. When you click on that, you can hide all stories from that publisher permanently. If there is a specific site you don't wish to see, this would be the most immediate option.

    If this option is not appearing, please post a screenshot of what you see, as well as the version number of your Microsoft Edge browser. I'll be glad to look into this further. It's important that we have as positive an experience as possible while we browse the news, and I absolutely wish to help.

    Thank you for your time, and I wish you all the best. Have a great day!

    -Ben

    Generally I have liked the Microsoft News app. But, now Microsoft News has removed the ellipsis ( ... ) beside the sources also, leaving no method for blocking a publisher. Because of their greed for the revenue they receive from these "News" sources, we are exposed to propaganda articles if we want to use their news app. So, like it or not I will be using a different News source that has more respect for their users.

    I still would like to block domains.

    Google Chrome lets one do it. 

    ie: foxnews.com 

    I don't want AI to determine if fox news is forcing their entertainment on me. I want to simply lock the domain.
    It would be easy and very effective to block their 'news'
