In the Microsoft Edge browser homepage, there is the MSN newsfeed. I have blocked Sky News Australia as they are fake news purveyors collaberating with crypto fascists. Yet SNA articles continue to appear on the "Engaging News" card. How to fix?

If this is the incorrect place to ask this question about the shocking quality of "journalism" being pushed on me against my wishes or the coziness of Microsoft with Sky News Australia, please direct me to the correct place. Thank you.
