A decent, non-biased news source

[seemly]

Today was the first time I've heard of this website: https://ground.news/

While it is a subscription based model, if you're a heavy consumer of news, I think this could be a fantastic resource.

This is the kind of thing app I love. Transparent, actually innovative, and a great use of tech.

Even though I've only just stumbled across it, I may very well subscribe to the mid-tier. While I'd like to see ownership data for publications, and I'd also like to see my news bias over time, I'm not into paying an additional premium for that macro-luxury.

Viewing the home page​

Just looking at the home page, it is interesting to see what sort of stories the right and left wing news & media outlets actually report on. You can certainly spot patterns.

Viewing an article​

Under the headline (and a little further down the page), you can click through the tabs 'Left', 'Center', and 'Right' to see an overview of how the leaning wings are reporting the story, and where the stories have been sourced from.

In the right hand sidebar, you can see how many news sources were referenced, how they lean, and a bias distribution for that particular story.

That looks pretty decent, too. And at my favourite price range!

It would be great if there was a free version of ground.news, but infrastructure is the cost these days. Plus the API's and subscriptions to the other news outlets to aggregate and associate relationships between the stories. You can obviously automate a bunch of it, but you'd still need manual human editors to check things are working as expected prior to actually publishing (I'd imagine).

Anybody aware of any similar solutions?

BAE was a mad one. Thought I was gonna have to neck my iodine tablets this morning

News site looks amazing, not seen or heard of it before either. For non-bias news I use AP, there’s no alternative really. But this looks great.

I heard about this one too https://margo.uk

Looks like a positive news site that needs to be updated more than once a year but I heard the founder has ADHD and perfectionism issues, yikes.

I've heard GB News is unbiased
