    The most hilarious part is that Ground News tries to present itself as “unbiased” by covering news from “left” and “right”, but it does so from a US perspective, so almost all international sources are considered “left”.

    They are not left, it’s you who is right, lol.

    Which, BTW, highlights the broader issue of American politics, which is that people were honestly made to believe moderate right is the center, or even left. It is not.

    Ground news is pretty dope and the only people hating on it seem to be the people that have never used it, but thinks that it’s automatically bad because of the whole left/right thing.

    It’s still a place to consume a large amount of news very quickly and at a glance you can see if one side isn’t reporting on something or if they are reporting on it using very different language or focusing on different aspects on the topic.

    Nothing will ever be perfect, but as the saying goes the enemy of perfect is good.

      I don’t understand why someone would hate that they show both sides? Like, I’m not a centrist or right winger by any means, but it’s good to get out of the echo chamber sometimes. Everyone needs to be more critical of the media they consume and realize that not everyone thinks the same way they do. I don’t agree with the way the right reports on things, but I want to at least know what I’m not hearing that other people are.

        I haven’t used it, mainly because I suspect they’re very caught up in the political landscape of the US. I don’t know what to do with a scale that only goes from “you may have some civil liberties as a treat, but only if they don’t affect stock prices” to “if you’re not a rich white hetero man I don’t care if you live or die”
