My Alexa defaulted to Fox News !*#*

I am offended to hear this when I get a daily Flash Briefing. This means millions of people receive right wing lies that are detrimental to our democracy promoted by Amazon. Many will not know how or bother to change. I have called their support number to complain. 877-375-9365. I encourage you to do the same If you have this problem, changing it is not an easy thing but can be done. To remove Fox and select another news organization.

Open the Alexa app .
Open More and select Settings.
Select Flash Briefing.
Select the toggle next to each news service you want to add to your Flash Briefing.
