I like the idea of breaking out of media bubbles and seeing how bias is reporting things differently. The site ground.news is a mechanism for doing that. They aggregate bias and ownership rankings from third party organizations and then show who is covering what and how. It is fascinating. But I think their rating system has some glaring errors. It's impossible to get a list of all publications but even their standard one shows the problem. AP being center is solid, but in the updated ratings it is skewed as left of center. Politico is definitely not left of center nor is The Hill center. Those are all right of center. NBC and CNN is at best left of center but especially with the new management of CNN that is actually now right of center too. Even in the categories of organizations I can't stand I don't think their ratings hold up. I hate Fox News but there is no way their web/print content are as skewed right as Daily Wire and Breitbart. They would more appropriately be in the same column as WSJ and New York Post. The thing I learned today though is that it is possible to create individual suggestions and tweaks. So maybe it would be worth subscribing after all...I can't tell. Anyone have practical long term usage experience to tell me what their thoughts are? #MSM #MediaBias #uspoli
