What our readers are saying.
GN builds media-savvy readers. On GN, propaganda is obvious. Even if true, propaganda can manipulate us if we're too emotional. Bias, harder to define & apply, but GN's outlet-bias rating is a critical 1st step. It causes us to think about why and how a story exists. Democracy requires it.
There are three sides to every story. What you think happened, what I think happened and what actually happened. And with such a wide division between political rivals, it's great to see all three sides in one location.
I like the fact that I have access to news organizations that I would never have had come across on my own. I have discovered a lot of good independent news agencies that deserve more attention.GN builds media-savvy readers. On GN, propaganda is obvious.

How does the rating system on Ground News work?The Ground team does not evaluate the bias or factuality ratings on news publications or stories – we leave that to the experts. Bias and factuality ratings are averaged from the published ratings from three third-party independent news publication monitoring organizations, when available: All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check.
Ratings are not static and can evolve over time. If you disagree with a rating, you can always select “Edit Bias Rating” to share your personal rating on the Ground News app and website.
