    Ground News. The blind spot feature gives me great insight to where my “out of touch” family is coming from with their political narratives.

        I’m not sure because I live in the US but the feed is based on “tags” you select. It seems like they process stories from around the world but I don’t have a grasp on how comprehensive they are, internationally.

        You can tailor your news feed to different countries or continents. Though I’m not sure how well the other areas are reported on, since I only have experience with the US news side of things.

      Do they grind the news media executives into a fine general purpose powder (like Torgo’s executive powder) or where does the name come from?

      Is something like Media Bias Fact Check or is it different? Can you explain why it’s worth paying for? I keep seeing the ads but I feel like MBFC kinda does the same thing…at least that’s how it comes across in the ads. I’m just curious what it does differently so well to make it worth the price.

      Thanks!

        I’m not familiar with MBFC. It may be similar but I don’t mind throwing some $$ at any project making these efforts. What I like about Ground News is that all the sources for a given story are aggregated to one page, sorted based on political bias, and rated on accuracy. That information combined with the “Blindspot” feature (which highlights when a story is disproportionately covered more by one side) is very powerful IMO. It looks like the blindspot feed it’s available to non-subscribers but doesn’t include the political bias of the source: https://ground.news/blindspot

        The nice part about Ground is that they take the event being reported on, then show the news sources and how they’re reporting on them.

        For instance, let’s say a white cop shoots a black jogger. Ground will take the news sources for that event, and line them up on a left/right bias chart based on their historic reporting records. So you can see how the two sides (and the center) are reporting on the same story. For instance, AP (historically just left of center) will be very dry, and only report “police shoot black jogger”. Far right outlets will post something about a heroic officer protecting communities, being forced to shoot a fleeing black man. And far left outlets will post about white supremacist cops gunning down an innocent black man.

        What do you mean? I never really see much about RFKjr but I don’t have him tagged as a topic of interest.
