Extension Usage Instructions

                        Get a second opinion of the news you’re reading. 

Whenever you come across a news article online, the Ground News Bias Checker shows you which news outlets are reporting on that story so you can compare coverage and make sure you’re seeing the full picture.

The Ground News Bias Checker can:

1. Instantly show you how 50,000+ news outlets around the world are reporting on the same story. Easily compare related articles from different publishers to verify information.

2. Give you bias and factuality rating for news sources reporting on a story. See if the story is receiving balanced coverage, or if it's mostly being reported by news sources at the extremes of the political spectrum. 

3. Integrate with Twitter, Facebook and Reddit to uncover media bias hidden in your newsfeed.

4. Save interesting articles to read later and automatically generate in-text citations to support your research. 


Developed by a former NASA engineer, Ground News helps readers think critically about the news they consume by providing context about the source of the information. For more in-depth analysis, try our website and mobile apps.
