Open question to all - I see a lot of ads recently for the Ground News app, it supposedly pulls different articles with different political leaning, label then accordingly and calculates news bias.

Is it a good app in actual use? Any better than leading some moderately reputable newspaper?

I use ground news. It’s fine and gets the job done. Maybe I’ve gotten used to it.

I have liked the blindspot feature though. It was very useful during the US election when one sided reporting was especially bad. But I personally still find it more useful to watch YouTube videos from diverse sources.

I’d love for them to curate YouTube videos for current events, rating channels by bias. That would be even more useful for me personally.

But I’ve also found the Washington Post or Economist to be more desirably “boring” in their reporting, rather than NYT that seems to just not care anymore.
