Ground News. The blind spot feature gives me great insight to where my "out of touch" family is coming from with their political narratives.
Is something like Media Bias Fact Check or is it different? Can you explain why it’s worth paying for? I keep seeing the ads but I feel like MBFC kinda does the same thing…at least that’s how it comes across in the ads. I’m just curious what it does differently so well to make it worth the price.
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with MBFC. It may be similar but I don't mind throwing some $$ at any project making these efforts. What I like about Ground News is that all the sources for a given story are aggregated to one page, sorted based on political bias, and rated on accuracy. That information combined with the "Blindspot" feature (which highlights when a story is disproportionately covered more by one side) is very powerful IMO. It looks like the blindspot feed it's available to non-subscribers but doesn't include the political bias of the source: https://ground.news/blindspot
Thanks for the info!
