Довольно предвзятое ранжирование СМИ, удивительно было увидеть некоторые абсолютно леволиберальные агенства обозначенные как "правые". Даже до смешного доходит - идеологические наследники левых идей (ТАСС) к примеру обозначены как правые. И таких оказий много, особенно в отношении не американских СМИ. Французским, испанским, итальянским изданиям на английском наверно было бы интересно узнать что у них несколько радикальная позиция. Зато большинство американских СМИ (судя по этой выборке) - почти все центристы, со взвешенной позицией (конечно пример FOX очевидный, но это лишь отклонение от нормы). Ах да, это всё алгориитмы, никакой политики. Вот как надо преподносить информацию в новых реалиях - не важно, кто объективен, важно чтобы был консенсус.

Easy to use, you could actually see how information could be seen through the different lenses

Pretty good app for news coverage however has too many US outlets (which is great) and not enough Australian outlets. Its political bias is through an US lens, the political perspective leans too right so what would be Far-right in the rest of the world in the US it’s Right wing, and what would be centrist is left. Ground News acknowledges this with the US based media monitors. I believe this is an area ground news need to work on for non-US audiences and correcting political scaling.

The trial isn’t long enough, and I feel that’s intended to get you to pay before seeing how shallow the app really is. Ultimately the bias comparison is ‘ok’ but awfully shallow in implementation. At the end of the day you are still consuming mainstream news, which is wholly unreliable and biased on both sides. Often it’s not a left right bias anymore, it’s just flat out lights for an agenda. Your better off without this app.

Now you can see where your news comes from, also very interesting to see what the left or right does not report on, news in it self! A must have news source in this day and age….

Used the app with a paid subscription and it exceeds expectations for outlining bias. A good range of organisation for news as well. However, when browsing other major news conglomerates and their top headlines, GroundNews tends to exclude that. Also the app sometimes crashes unexpectedly. Other than that, great app. 👍🏾

Ground News really is a must have for improving media literacy. Ground News pools together the media reporting on the same story across a variety of sources so you can see for yourself where the gaps are in reporting and question the agenda of each report. This really is an eye opening app for anyone the ability to make up their own mind about what’s being broadcast to them in the 24 hour news cycle

Despite attempts to provide news stories and sources identified as left or right wing to overall selection appears to be left wing leaning. You simply don’t see a lot of balanced articles and reports. I will not renew my membership as I can’t find the value.

Oh god this is the app I have been dreaming of. I spend so much time trying to manually do what it does. However, I’m an Aussie and am mainly interested in South Pacific news. I’ll definitely upgrade my subscription once AU/NZ/Polynesia is added as a primary region 🤓 5 stars for concept and execution thus far though.
