    Ground news is pretty dope and the only people hating on it seem to be the people that have never used it, but thinks that it’s automatically bad because of the whole left/right thing.

    It’s still a place to consume a large amount of news very quickly and at a glance you can see if one side isn’t reporting on something or if they are reporting on it using very different language or focusing on different aspects on the topic.

    Nothing will ever be perfect, but as the saying goes the enemy of perfect is good.

      I don’t understand why someone would hate that they show both sides? Like, I’m not a centrist or right winger by any means, but it’s good to get out of the echo chamber sometimes. Everyone needs to be more critical of the media they consume and realize that not everyone thinks the same way they do. I don’t agree with the way the right reports on things, but I want to at least know what I’m not hearing that other people are.

        That’s a very healthy mindset to have. Too many people happily lock themselves into many bubbles/echo chambers and they lose all perspective. Just because you discuss topics with people doesn’tean you have to agree with them. It’s still important to know what other views exist out there.

        I wish more people were like you.

        Yeah… I have a rule that I don’t take any advice from Australians ever.

        They lost a war to some overgrown chickens for fuck sake.

          So you don’t have any actual counter points to the very good points Friendly Jordies made about your favourite platform? Convince me, I’m on the fence about it.

            “my favorite platform” homie it’s an app to read the news. I don’t give a shit if you use it haha.

            I think it’s pretty good. Other people don’t. I don’t really care either way. Give it a try if you’re curious.

    Ground News aggregates articles from many sources on a single topic and it tells you whether or not each source tends to lean right or left. I think it even tells you if any of those sources leaves out certain pieces of information. It’s actually pretty sweet.
