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
A great idea to show the bias in news
The USP is a simple one, to show the bias in news reporting so that you the reader can be better informed of who is reporting what. The app encourages the reader to step outside of their bubble and read more stories from more varied sources. The app is clearly laid out, easy to read and there are a good range of subscription options including a free tier. Highly recommended.
Developer Response ,
Hi there, thanks for the 5-star review! We're happy to hear that Ground News is helping you step outside of your news bubble and discover a variety of sources. If there's anything we can do to improve your experience, please don't hesitate to let us know over at feedback@ground.news.
Ground News is essential
Ground News provides a flawlessly designed app, bringing factuality to an industry which is so often shrouded in uncertainty. Where truth is a valuable commodity these days, Ground News is clarity. It uses complex software to create engaging tangents on the website, like ‘blindspot’ for example, which shows you news you may not usually be exposed to in your social media echo chamber. It also helps you to understand the inner workings of journalist roles in the political system, and how different newspapers serve different agendas based on their donors and readers.
I would say that it’s pretty hard to be objective about certain news sources’ political viewpoints or standings, especially in such a black and white way, but it’s a good start in identifying news reporting bias.
I love it.
Developer Response ,
Thanks so much for your delightful review, JRainyy! I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the app in today's news landscape, especially the Blindspot newsfeed. If you ever have any suggestions for what we could add to Ground News to make it more useful to you, please don't hesitate to let us know at feedback@ground.news as we'd love to hear your thoughts!
Needs a Built in Reeder
Very good idea, executed very well and delivers on the anti-biased approach.
However, it is an inconvenience to have to open safari when wanting to read any article. I realise it would be a massive task to develop and impliment an article reader within the app but ti woulkd make it the whole package.
Or at least allow external support for other reader apps.
