Ground News Reviews 

Ground News does exactly what they claim: it shows everything. This is not a service that's good for people who only want to see the things reported that they already believe are true. It is a service for people who want to see truth, lies, and everything in between and have the ability to figure out for themselves which category various things fall into. It's not perfect of course, nothing will be, but it makes the attempt in a world that needs it desperately.

Worth addressing are some of the one star reviews. Many reviewers claim it's difficult to unsubscribe - this may be true. I thought I had unsubscribed months ago (for financial reasons, not dissatisfaction) and was charged for it just two days ago. However, contrary to many of those negative reviews, when I immediately reached out to the company I was provided with a full refund and cancellation within 48 hours, no further questions asked.

Ground News is an amazing service to humankind!
There are many platforms that provide a one-page view of the most relevant news (like Google News or Flipboard), but none expose the biases, blind spots, and manipulations behind the headlines. For media outlets funded by private companies, it’s natural that group interests can influence coverage.

I’m privileged to live in a country (Germany) where much of the news is publicly funded, and therefore less likely to be driven by corporate interests. Yet, the United States still sets many of the global standards for narratives — and there’s no better place to search for truth than where such diversity of perspectives exists.

Ground News is a breath of fresh air — something you can truly rely on if you want to be well-informed, not bias-confirmed. Kudos to Ground News, and a shoutout to Harleen Kaur for bringing it to life. Hopefully, she’ll be recognized one day — maybe even with a Pulitzer — for her outstanding contribution to truth in journalism.

This service is exactly what people need to break free from the political and biased framing typical of the mainstream media and most communication channels. Offering users the opportunity to acquire information both on the facts themselves and on how they are presented by different news sources is a double value that no other service on the market offers. All this by providing links to the aforementioned sources and offering the opportunity to break through one's own media bubble of influence. I also note the effort to collect local foreign news, and I hope that this intention will become increasingly widespread and in-depth over time. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Ground News is the best way to get down to the truth in a news story by far. It makes it super simple to see biases and even helps to make sure you aren’t missing stories from your own biases when choosing a news source.

This is a more philosophical & emotional review: I honestly think and hope that, through platforms like it, humanity can get back to the time where critical thinking and good journalism are the norm and not the exception.

That’s it. Go use it and form your own opinion.

The only news app I've ever paid for and the only one I would pay for moving forward.

I've been using Ground News for a little over half a year and it almost immediately became indispensable for me. I appreciate being able to easily read through several news sources on the same subject to get a thorough and balanced overview of the topic. It's also extremely valuable to be able to see how news sources that are heavily slanted towards the right or left are reporting on a subject, because it makes it easier to talk to people who only get their news from those sources and use the language they're used to while helping guide them toward a more nuanced and balanced view. It's a powerful tool for helping us all to reach common ground, and to see the truth behind all of the distractions that sensationalized stories provide.

Form your own opinions on the world around you!!

I found this great app/site via The Why Files (long live Hecklefish)...If you are tired of the same old narrative being shoved down your throat from both sides of the main stream media (MSM) then Ground News is for you. It gives you both sides left and right, and allows you to make a decision for yourself. The Blindspot is great in that it shows you what other articles aren't and the paid Vantage plan also shows you the ownership and which countries these articles are coming out of. Highly recommended!

A fantastic website for seeing and understanding media bias. I especially like the Blindspot page.

Don't bother subscribing if you want to stay angry in your tribe and like the propaganda both side feed their followers.

The site have provided me with everything it promised. I'm glad there's an accessable tool for me to keep myself updated on politics and a tool to help me work on my biases. I greatly reccomend to everyone. I especially like the feature of easily exploring how different meadia report on same event.

Ground News clearly displays the quality of reporting or lack of , as well as the political leanings of news providers across a wide range of services that allows you to compare offerings at a glance. A great resource in todays "alternative facts" world.

Feels like a news and media brokerage to streamline authentic sourcing of news information.
Helps to authenticate media coverage and verify true storylines .

The App is great, if you're serious about understanding the news you want to consume and which outlets are sharing it with their bias, because there is bias in todays legacy media, this is the app for you. The customer service is also 5 stars very quick and very attentive.

Ground News is the Antidote to Doomscrolling!

I love ground news, I recommend it to everybody

On the whole pretty good. I like the ability to see whether the news article is biased left, centre or right. I have historically used the BBC as my main source of information but that now has ended as it has become a woke mouthpiece pure and simple. It is very heavily biased towards the extreme left and I just don't understand how this can happen. I think Ground News is a safer bet.

In today’s rapid-fire news and barrage of misinformation, Ground News feels a most safe and trusted source. It takes time, that we all seem to be short of, to sift through all the news coming at us. Even when we are trying to protect our own mental health by buffering the amount we consume, Ground News can help to keep us steady! I highly recommend Ground News as a great and honest source of news.

It's fascinating and enlightening to see an issue reported from the opposite perspective. Ground News also makes it convenient to do so; you don't have to go looking online for publications you don't normally read. It also helps you identify and appreciate journalism that prizes accuracy rather than both-sidesism.

Excellent - cannot believe I learned about Ground News this late in life. Very Grateful to them. Thank you for the efficient, holistic, factual and user friendly ( late in life, remember? ...) News. Greatly appreciated.
