Ground News

Anyone heard of it? Michael Smerconish referenced it on his show this morning. From the About Us page:

quote:
Ground News is a platform that makes it easy to compare news sources, read between the lines of media bias and break free from algorithms.

Interesting concept.

Not spending $10/mo.

Haven't bothered with a paid subscription, just using what's free. It's actually pretty slick. And informative.

I’ll keep an eye on it. WaPo isn’t getting the job done lately.

Every article includes how the issue affects poor single black mothers. From climate change, Covid, OS 16.3, vegetarian casseroles to the war in Ukraine, that’s the population they report on.

I’m as lefty as the next guy but I don’t need this.

Yea, I just got a subscription offer from WaPo for 99 cents a months for a year and I had to think about it.

Ground News....Of course they're displaying all the same old news sources. What I find interesting is to see the headlines from those sources and how a particular story is being presented, whether the right or left is focusing on the story, and how the reporting is distributed across left/center/right.

It's nothing you can't do on your own but it's great to have it all brought together in one place.

Couldn’t one get a daily news feed from AP or Reuters and notice which items aren’t getting picked up by your favorite paper or news channel?

But I like that Ground lays it out for you.
