Description
For anyone fighting against the rise of misinformation, sensationalism, and biased news, the Ground News Mac app will help you easily compare how a story is being covered by thousands of sources from across the political spectrum and from around the world.
If you are like the many people who feel overwhelmed and under-informed as they piece together patchwork information from social media and conflicting news sources, Ground News will empower you with an array of visualization and comparison tools that makes it simple to analyze, understand, and draw your own conclusions about a developing news story. Unlike traditional news aggregators, which utilize crowd-sourcing and algorithms that reward clickbait and reinforce pre-existing bias, Ground News helps users understand the news objectively based on media bias, geographic location, and time.
Ground News is the world’s first news comparison platform that will help voters make better-informed decisions, drawing from more than 40,000 news sources worldwide and featuring an average of 30,000 news stories per day.
Also, included in the Mac app is our new Safari extension. Try out Ground News Bias Checker for Safari. Whenever you read a news article, our browser extension will show you who else is covering the same news story and compare how other sources from all across the political spectrum are reporting on it.

Developer Response ,
Thank you for your delightful review, jebbwyw. I'm pleased to hear Ground News is what you were looking for and is living up to your expectations. If you think of any way we could improve the service, please let us know at feedback@ground.news .
Doesn't make sense
Who the author thinks he is to be the oracle saying which media is left, right or center? How do you define the center? Why do you divide people just into left and right? There are many aspects impossible to solve so please remember you are subjected to the author judgement about qualifying news companies as left or right.
Developer Response ,
Hi Tobol, I am sorry about your disappointment with the bias ratings on the app. We know we aren't the arbiters of truth, so we've sourced our bias ratings from 3 third-party organizations that are dedicated to rating bias in the media. You can learn all about our methodology here: https://about.ground.news/about-bias-ratings. As a bias rating app, providing the most reliable information possible is incredibly important to us. We are a small team of 11, but as we expand we can begin incorporating other measurements of bias in the media. The left-right scale is to simply provide more context where there previously was none, giving readers the tools they need to think critically and come to their own decisions.
Not worth it
Bought subscription for a year and I regret it.
Most of articles there are pure trash.
The app itself is good. But the actual content is pure narrative driven nonsense that you see on clickabity Facebook ads

It's important to us to deliver a consistently positive news experience, and if there is clickbait on the platform our team would be happy to address it. You can contact us at feedback@ground.news if you'd like to discuss this further.
