And another thing. Why is it whenever I open Microsoft Edge there are always slanted "news" stories? The bias of the "reporting" is obvious to anyone with half a brain.
You can't get away from Ministry of Truth agitprop just by ignoring their mouthpieces. They try to force-feed it to us.

Yes - and have you ever tried to “personalize” that page? It is reminiscent of Henry Ford’s quip about the Model T, “you can have any color you want — as long as it’s black.” In an age of RSS it should be dead easy to subscribe to feeds and truly personalize the page, but instead I merely get to select from Microsoft’s “curated” and pre-chewed food.
Yes, Steve, I have tried. I was determined to get rid of the propaganda.
It took a couple of hours of online searches to finally get the info on how to disable it. It can be done, but they seem to go out of their way to make it difficult.
Good on me. But how about those poor dumb bastards who get fed this stuff, and delude themselves into thinking they're informed?
Like you, I finally realized I could only disable it - not truly personalize it - and that meant several wasted hours I can never reclaim. It was truly disappointing to realize you could only "choose your shade of black" and were prevented from having anything approaching a true color palette at your disposal. So, I continue to just use My Yahoo as my primary portal [ironically, in part, because it allows me to suppress Yahoo! News ;-)]. It is one of the few homepages I have found that allows me true personalization with RSS feeds containing only what I want - not what Big Tech wants to push at me. In contrast, Microsoft has managed to deliver a product that is analogous to the USPS not delivering the mail, but instead "curating" what I get in my mailbox. It's utterly disgraceful.
