This is an amazing extension. Provides a bias rating for the new agency and gives references to all other agencies covering the same story so it is quick and easy to see multiple angles of the same story!

Awesome.

Good idea - flawed implementation: inaccurate ratings and limited coverage. I tested this app on my Facebook feed. It failed to comment on the majority of political posts, as it seems limited to only mainstream media articles. The things it flagged as "left wing bias" were mostly wrong -- e.g. the UK Government (gov.uk) was flagged as "100% left-wing biased". I wish!

Great to check the bias of new sources online.

Excellent idea!

If only everyone could have this extension automatically applied to all of their browsers when they view online news; and before they share wild stories on social media platforms.

Here's another idea; how about also having a reputation / truth / accuracy tracker for news agencies? For example, you can see if the article you're reading is from a site which is known to spread fake news, or simply from a news agency's website which may not be entirely trusted for its information.

The service is good but the extension itself needs work. It is missing an option to disable on specific websites. It's annoying when it shows up on sites like Wikipedia.

cmon why the heck would ground news try to fact check friggin steam store??? and how long before you implement a blacklist/whitelist function???

it's terrible that such a potentially useful extension has such a debilitating self-sabotaging impairment, which should be quite easy to fix since so many good extensions already have include/exclude functions.

1-star because this has been a problem since day 1 and i've suffered thru it for MONTHS now. fix it yesterday.

This extension makes comparing news sources SO convenient. It's also always interesting to see who else is reporting on a story, especially when a story pops up on my Facebook feed.

I like how you can see what stories are covered by different news outlets, and it gives you a bird's eye view of the information that spreads around the internet. However, remember to actually do research into the facts that you care about, and that not everything neatly fits into left or right "agendas", as we so often like to simplify it as.
