   Using the Samsung News aggregater on my tablet and noticed Fox News in the list. I promptly told it to hide everything from them. Nothing changed. I went into settings and verified Fox News was deselected in the list of sources and explicitly hidden. It was still there. I scrolled down and saw another bullshit peddling source and hit hide. The screen refreshed and it was gone, but still Fox News remained.

   I hate this kind of shit.

     @wulfric Operating systems that think it's in their job description to show you news are 🤮 and difficulty or impossibility of fully removing it from view is disqualifying for a device no matter what other good points it may have.
