Can I remove Daily Caller from my Yahoo news feed?

It's constantly at the top of the Yahoo page. Are they paying for this spot? Is there any way to block this site? I'm looking for news, not propaganda.

    I hate Daily Caller and its right-wing propaganda that poses as news. I too am getting to the point that I may just refuse to use Yahoo at all if they do not provide a way to block certain "news" sources. I do not want to block all topics related to politics, just the National Enquirer type of agencies.

    It would be nice if there was a way to select the sources for Yahoo news feed. At first it wasn't too bad, but then there definitely has been a shift to more right-wing stuff, all the climate change denial articles make me cringe. And less and less of the sources seem to be real news content providers. I hardly see New York Times or Christian Science Monitor or other reliable centrist sources. Now it seems more and more fluff. I'm liking it less and less and will probably switch soon. Looking for a different new aggregator, possibly see what Google has to offer or I heard good things about Feedly.

    Daily Caller is garbage, and that's putting is very nicely. In fact, I've seen garbage I like better than the Daily Caller.

    Yahoo seems to have been taken over by the sort of people who like to promote strife.

    There does not appear to be any way to remove a news source. You can only disable specific news topics. I wanted to remove Daily Caller and The Blaze. I guess I'll just switch to Google News which does have the ability to remove or increase news sources.

    Now Newsmax is appearing without ad status, as if it were actual news. I guess either Yahoo doesn't read its answers pages or it has been paid off by the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson. I try to counter this by adding the HuffPo feed, but half the time Yahoo says it's not available. Meanwhile, I hate to open the DC and Newsmax articles, but you can try clicking the Thumbs down" icon to see if Yahoo actually "learns" that you don't want this $#!t in your newsfeed.

    Ditto, Glen Beck's Blaze and Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller are rags. Yahoo should know better. It's trash and there's no way to get rid of it.

    I started noticing the Daily Caller propaganda in the yahoo news feed as well. I don't need a propaganda feed. Maybe it's time to switch to Google.

    Want Daily Caller and Tucker Carlson OFF my news feed. Will NOT read republicon propaganda. Will change to another page that allows it to be personalized.

    I hate Daily Caller and Tucker Carleson, How can I get rid of this fake source of stories in the newsfeed? It's as bad as Google News using Xinhua.
