Bias distribution news comparison sites

[s1962a]

I saw a link to the following site which tries to show you the bias distribution of news articles. Anyone use this for their news feed or similar sites? It seems like a more balanced way to consume news.

https://ground.news

For example, the news around the bank of england interest rates shows that the news bias is fairly central across sources.

Been a regular user for a few weeks now. It's fascinating although, of course, Ground News is also biased. There's no way it could not be.

Thats what i'm trying to figure out as well - what angle do they have a bias toward. Have you come across anything specific during your time using it?

Seems they rate the BBC as being "center". That will put most of the free thinkers off.

The balance seems to be a bit off. In most cases there are only one or two right leaning sources compared to 6 or 7 left leaning.

Well I certainly trust you to make an objective judgement as to what comprises a right or left leaning source.

The BBC, whilst it has many issues, suffers from pissing off every side of the political spectrum so centre is like the best place for it.
