It's apparently a news congregate site that shows bias in news articles and rates sources based on left or right leaning, factuality, etc. Seems like it could easily be abused to discredit certain sources, but also might be good for determining which outlets are very biased one way or the other. It's got stupid fucking subscription tiers but a free option as well so there's that. Not going to link it but it's the first result when searching "Ground News" so it's simple to find. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience, as I've seen a few YouTube channels sponsored by it, including non-political channels, and my curiosity is piqued.

Haven’t used it but it doesn’t look bad. You’re going to laugh, but I use RSS for aggregated news. Yep, like it’s 2005. I used Twitter for news for a while since if you follow the right places it can be, but I didn’t really think it was mentally healthy to just constantly give time to the agitating drivel that is on there.
I’ve toyed with the idea of making my own feed app that would also allow following of some social things, e.g. Twitter things not available in RSS, but I never went through with it.
Be sure if you’re taking others opinions of whether a source is right, left, factual, or not with a grain of salt. Whether Ground News or someone posting here. Hell, you should question my definition of fact too even though I am perfect and never ever wrong.
That's basically how I'm feeling about it right now.
