Google news started loading a crappy Fox 'news' story high on my feed. How to remove it?

It's a different lame absurd bullshit story every time.

When you try to edit preferences, you can select more or less blogs or press releases but nothing related to sources.

Stupid lying treasonous Fox.

Make sure you're logged in on your Google News account (same as your regular Google account) before you go to that page.

You can block certain sources as I have (see pic below)



I think on rare occasions, a Fox story will slip through, but it's pretty effective.

I had set my sources a long while back under my work account, and was logged in under my personal account. For some reason I can only set sources under one account, so no source options were available.

Mahalo nui again Steve2470.

searches for things of a Hobby Nature. As a Collector Railroad Memorabilia and belonging to Prospecting Clubs through out the West,we get this tags. Appears to be purpose tagging by their Marketing Department. Have to say,we have some really scary types in our Prospecting Clubs. Did find out a couple of Membership Lists were sold to a PR firm.

I hope you don't mind me saying so but I always felt he was taken from us.

What an inspiration he was. He would have made short work of W and this nut. They could never have stood up to him.

Aloha Wellstone Ruled.
