I’m requesting a block feature for the Brave News sources. While it is possible to “Follow” an agency, there doesn’t seem to be a way to block/exclude one. I keep getting news from sources I do not follow and do not want to follow, my only recourse is to turn off the service altogether, which I have.
Ditto. Why would anyone willingly expose themselves to Fox News?
A block function would be very helpful here.

Wow. Having a bad week?
I tried that. Take a look.
Funny how “I’d prefer not to see fascist talking points from a channel who has legally admitted their coverage is not factual” got you so triggered. Maybe look into that.
I agree 100%. Why are we being subjected to forced news sources that we don’t want to read?
You do know that you can customise the news sources you see in the feed? I think the idea is once you activate the news feed, you can then go in and choose your own sources/deselect sources that you don’t want to see. However admittedly I do find I occasionally have to revisit settings as new news sources are added, to deselect them mostly.

Late to this party, but why is this not an option??
I’m about to turn off Brave News, which is a shame.
I had to LOL at the comments … I found this while specifically looking to block Faux News and all the comments where spot on. It’s not immediately obvious, but if you click on the name of the source on the news tile (NOT in “Customize”) there is one option to “Disable content from …”

This works, but requires the unwanted source to show up in your feed first. How hard can it be to add the option to manually hide it right away?
I agree with you except for me, it is CNN, CBS, & MSNBC. Regardless, of our differences of opinions on news source, one should be able to follow or unfollow any offered news source that we want, without having to completely shutoff that option.

Hey all. Just so you know, news sources will only show up based on what we have chosen. What may actually be missed by some though is how you keep groups. For example, in my toying around on things, I ended up with below:
With the above, I don’t see anything EXCEPT the ones on that list.
If we look at what Jaquito shared a year ago we see their list started with Top Sources:
Top Sources is one of the many channels. It contains a variety of sources combined. If you want control, then don’t use channels but instead just add your sources individually.
Top Sources would include things like:
- People
- CBS Sports
- The Atlantic
- Tom’s Hardware
- Screenrant
- Business Insider
- Digital Trends
- FOX News
- The New York Times
And a hell of a lot more.
Moral of the story:
Just unfollow everything that is there by default and manually add whatever content you want to see. From there you will have no issues, so long as you don’t add “channels” which are huge lists of compiled sources.

You really are the ‘ninja’ we’ve been looking for!
Yup, similar to my setup, and I only see what I want to see.
