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.

The best tool you have to discern a bias is your brain and pattern recognition, don't rely on these websites or other people to tell you. Even people who are generally good on this can sometimes fuck up either due to no researching something properly or them being in denial about certain people that they like. The whole pattern recognition thing might also explain why gamers in general are so fucking good at catching this shit out and yes, a lot of news sites out there often have particular posting patterns these days and will act like NPCs depending on the topics.
