I went to "Manage your settings" and was led to a page titled "Sources you've hidden" followed by a list of sources.
Except I've never hidden any sources.
I clicked on one of the red balls, thinking maybe I could "unhide" the source I had supposedly hidden, and the source disappeared completely. So now the source I wanted to unhide is gone. And I can't figure out how to get it back.
So I don't know how "Sources you've hidden" works.
How do you get sources you do want to see OFF that list?

I am not happy about all the A.I. changes the article talks about and I hope to find a new news source.

I don't want to just see stuff tailored to my interests. I want to know what the world is interested in.

(51,624 posts)Since I am tech retarded I know if I try to "correct" it I will fuck up 1,001 other things that I never wanted to change in the first place. So I have learned to ignore all that crap. If I could teach a classroom full of hyper first graders, I can ignore just about any distraction if I decide to. I wish I could ignore the fucking moron as easily.

(13,783 posts)... for years. Every now and then I'd have to re-do it. But now they're back and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get rid of them!! There's also a stupid "Expeically for You" or words to that effect. I don't want Google deciding what I want to see!!!!

You can choose your news sources (BBC, CNN, REUTERS, Local weather, etc.) all on one page
I think someone here at DU recommended it
