Haven’t made up my mind
I’m test driving this news aggregator at the moment: ground.news. Its gimmick is that it gives you the headlines, and each one has a little graph underneath to show how many outlets have reported it and, of them, which were on the left, which are in the middle and which are on the right.
No, I haven’t done a deep dive into what they call the middle. Precious few news sources I would call centrist, but hey ho.
Their real gimmick is a feature called Blind Spot that highlights stories almost exclusively covered by one side or the other. Interesting.
Main downside: you have to pay. The three tiers are $9.96, $29.88 and $99.96 a year. I figured for less than ten quid, I’d give it a year.
No, I don’t know the difference between the three tiers. I know I get to see a limited number of Blind Spots is all.
The joke is, their analysis of my reading habits says I’m reading more left wing sources. Of course I am – I get my right wing news in dozens of places. I’m here to find out what lefties are saying.
I love news aggregators and I’ve always wanted one that told me what the left was saying without making me subscribe to the Guardian. I’ll let you know how it goes.
