Description

Explore the web and lookup articles you find on Ground News

Get a second opinion of the news you’re reading.

Whenever you come across a news article online, the Ground News Bias Checker shows you which news outlets are reporting on that story so you can compare coverage and make sure you’re seeing the full picture.

The Ground News Bias Checker can:

1. Instantly show you how 50,000+ news outlets around the world are reporting on the same story. Easily compare related articles from different publishers to verify information.

2. Give you bias and factuality rating for news sources reporting on a story. See if the story is receiving balanced coverage, or if it's mostly being reported by news sources at the extremes of the political spectrum.

3. Integrate with Twitter, Facebook and Reddit to uncover media bias hidden in your newsfeed.

4. Save interesting articles to read later and automatically generate in-text citations to support your research.

Developed by a former NASA engineer, Ground News helps readers think critically about the news they consume by providing context about the source of the information. For more in-depth analysis, try our website and mobile apps.

I really like the idea of this extension, however, it just seems to not load on or recognize major outlets regularly. I can't see any info on any NYTimes articles, also issues with BBC, CNN. I assumed these large outlets would have been easiest to confirm this is working properly.

I like your app a lot, however i dont need it working on every page i visit. Thus when i set the permission to 'this app can read site data' > on click or only on allowed sites i expect it to sit quietly in the background until needed. However the domain name 'extension.ground.news' is still the top queried domain on my dns server whilst browsing. I didnt get my wireshark out try see further details... I think it should respect permissions, and be quiet in the background unless it has access to a page.

Good to be aware of the bias of the news sites we read on the regular. My only criticism is there's too much going on in the UI. It would be nice to be able to see the owner of a news site at a glance as well since some sites are owned by one conglomerate.
