Tilted left, feigning balance
This app pertains to be neutral or at any rate provide access to opposing viewpoints. It does this, but its default position is left , literally.
As you scroll, you’ll notice each story has a number of publications that you are free to read. The options are either left., center, or right. The default option is always left… if this was truly an unbiased platform it would not have its default story options left leaning.
As I’m sure Ground News knows, ppl scroll reading headlines quickly without delving too deeply into the stories themselves. This exposes more people, by default, to left viewing wing views and does not provide balance to the user.
I assume this is intentional.

Awesome! Opened my eyes!
I love this app and the daily mail alerts I signed up for. I you want to be informed but worry you are getting biased news, this is what you want.
I love that I can read a summary of the event/issue and then select red/blue right/center/left reports and read what they actually said . I can read and decide for myself.
I’m impressed that they even include some local/state news coverage

Now I Understand!!
I always knew most media is delivered with a bias, but Ground News has shown me how rare it is for the “other side” to even hear the important stories from home and around the world. Everyone needs to be reading the truth and GN delivers!
NOT unbiased themselves
Yes, they provide alternate news sources for each story. But they call left wing attack dogs “center” and “highly factual”, while calling right wing sites “highly unfactual”.
This is just another “fact checker” that confirms the lies you’re being told. DELETED the app!

A Bias Against Fact Checking
Ground News often seeks the middle gound between reality and dishonesty. What’s the virtue in that?
