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.

    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.

    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.

    "Permanently"! -- that's total BS. I have a list of about 10 news sources hidden under "Personalize". They might remain hidden for about 15 minutes, but wham they appear again frequently. I even click on the same ellipses each time and put them into hide -- but it still doesn't work.
    Yes, I would definitely want the option to PERMANENTLY hides the stupid feeds from fox news, sky news, daily mail, etc.
    Please make it work -- or I'll permanently move to Google News!

    Yeah good luck with that. I block site (pop sugar for one). It comes back a few days later. I have pretty much given up and use Google's news feed. There I have Kardashian's blocked, so I see nothing they are doing. No way to do that on MS.
