How to block Fox news in APPLE NEWS?

I would like to know how to block Fox news from appearing (at all) in APPLE NEWS. I really don't want anything from them on my screen, not even their logo. I know it sounds radical (sorry if I offend anyone), it is just my choice. I tried to click on the icon "dislike heart", but it doesn't do anything. They are still there. Thank you for your help because if I can't manage to do it I will simply ban Apple News, and that would be a pitty.

MacBook Air, iOS 12.1

Select the channel you want to block (i.e. Fox News). Select File on the top menu, then select Block Channel. The icon will disappear from the sidebar but you cannot completely block it (or any other news source) from the Today aggregator.

I don't think you can completely ban them so I guess you will have to stop using News.

It does not sound radical in sounds paranoid.But I would do the same thing with MSNBC.

Try here News - Apple and see if you can un-follow a news source.

You can block this in the News App by first selecting Fox News as a source.

Once selected, the use the News menu and select File > Block Channel

You are now done. You can do this with any channel you wish, and content will not be shown in your Today section at a minimum. This does work, although it is not generally provided to you in documentation.
