Description
For anyone fighting against the rise of misinformation, sensationalism, and biased news, the Ground News Mac app will help you easily compare how a story is being covered by thousands of sources from across the political spectrum and from around the world.
If you are like the many people who feel overwhelmed and under-informed as they piece together patchwork information from social media and conflicting news sources, Ground News will empower you with an array of visualization and comparison tools that makes it simple to analyze, understand, and draw your own conclusions about a developing news story. Unlike traditional news aggregators, which utilize crowd-sourcing and algorithms that reward clickbait and reinforce pre-existing bias, Ground News helps users understand the news objectively based on media bias, geographic location, and time.
Ground News is the world’s first news comparison platform that will help voters make better-informed decisions, drawing from more than 40,000 news sources worldwide and featuring an average of 30,000 news stories per day.
Also, included in the Mac app is our new Safari extension. Try out Ground News Bias Checker for Safari. Whenever you read a news article, our browser extension will show you who else is covering the same news story and compare how other sources from all across the political spectrum are reporting on it.

Ratings and Reviews
Accurate and informative
Works fine with English media. Nice layout on tablets. To cover Europe, you need more languages. The English version of European media has less quality then their original articles.
Developer Response ,
Hi Pendalum, thank you for the 5-star review! We plan to offer support for other languages in the future as we continue to develop. :) Please don't hesitate to reach out to us any time at feedback@ground.news if any more suggestions come up.
Good idea - horrible execution - misleading subscription plans
It seems like a good idea.
Pro plan gives you nothing though. After paying 10 eu/usd you realize that all the good bits like fact check metric and left / right bias are not included. I honestly don’t see the difference between the free plan and the Pro plan.
Developer Response ,
Hi stella.az, thanks for your review and feedback and I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The Pro subscription does include the left/right bias ratings, so you should be seeing that in your account. I'm happy to look into this for you to ensure you have access to your paid features. Please feel free to email the team at feedback@ground.news so we can follow up with you.
To clarify, the Pro subscription unlocks My Feed customization capability. You can follow up to 500 interests, topics, and locations with this subscription, and compare headlines with bias ratings. At this tier you can also begin “editing” bias ratings to sort them into categories you find more appropriate, use our advanced filters to find the stories you’re looking for based on location and bias, and unlock 10 daily Blindspot stories on the Blindspot feed. I hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you.
