Who says what and why

Left-wing bias

Ground News pertains to be an app where you can view a story from all sides easily.

In the App, there are many instances of where the default story is the left-wing story… Then, also in many instances, select the story from the center, or the right, shows only left-wing publications.

An app that says it is providing “all sides of the story” should actually do so.
Not just pretend, in order to feed one point of view, the point of view that they support.

App has lost its credibility now…

Ground News has positioned itself as “the answer” to the biases in the mainstream media, and then gone and totally adopted their ravenous and desperate attempts to shake down its users for those delicious subscription charges.

The latest update has made the app a lot more sensational while quietly walling off most of what it originally gave users for free.

Goodbye, Ground News, I’ll see you again when you realise that being biased makes even more money!

I need depth

I think I will leave news articles as a source of my education. Too many weak articles. Where’s the beef?

I am looking for a good news magazine.

The Atlantic?
Newsweek?

Algorithmic malfunctions??

I like Ground News, I use it to consume a lot of current events and news topics ranging from entertainment, local, national, political, geopolitical, scientific, and diseases.
Lately however, I am more and more dissatisfied with what I see being disseminated into my feed. Something feels off with the curation process and it is not like it was even a year ago.
Please address this concerning issue. It is troubling and problematic that issues like the pneumonic plague lab event in Russia has barely made a blip on my main feeds radar, even clearly plenty of articles and sources exist about it when specifically searched for using the search function within the app.
I do not want to have to search for important headlines and events like this, I expect the intended behavior to be how it has been in the past, and to have relevant events and content like that pushed to the top of my news feed.
Please do better!!!
