How do I eliminate all FOX related channels from my package?

self-explanatory

If I can't eliminate FOX related channels, how do I drop my Direct TV subscription?

AT&T does not make getting help via website easy

Not possible to eliminate them all. But you can set up a Favorite Channel Guide that doesn't include them. 

If you want to cancel, just call the number below.

Like any other provider, you don't. Networks have it set so they are packaged, not al-a-carte. You can set a custom favorites list to hide any channels you will not watch.

Otherwise, call DirecTV say "cancel" at the voice prompt to speak to that department about closing your account. Then no more TV. Even using a regular over-the-air (OTA) antenna there is still your local Fox channel(s).

Thx vm-That's what I figured

The difference in dropping DirectTV vs over the air is that I wouldn't be generating revenues/carriage fees for FoxNews.

Unlike 20 or even 10 years ago, there are fortunately many options to the standard providers

Cancelling now

Since Fox has advertisers anything you buy is supporting them and all other channels.

Yep. You don't want to pay Fox (by way of TV provider at least), then give up pay TV completely.

We all have some channels we don't like in our package. Nobody watches every single one. They are packaged to give the most variety to cover the majority of subscribers. Cannot make everyone perfectly happy.
