Ground News - Bias Checker Extension

Get a second opinion on 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 easily compare coverage and make sure you’re seeing the full picture.

The Ground News Bias Checker can:

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

2. Reveal bias and factuality ratings for news sources reporting on a story. Quickly see whether a story is receiving balanced coverage, or if it's mostly being reported on by news sources at the extremes of the political spectrum.

3. Integrate with your personal social media accounts, including Facebook and Reddit, to uncover media bias hidden in your newsfeeds.

4. Save 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, we also offer a website, mobile app, and newsletters to help readers see the full story.

Huahsin Hsu (ID: 000000dde30943db) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/06/2023 Hope it can show scores of news resources like allsides. And can we see the basis for classifying these news resources?

Adolfo Grosso (ID: 000000d1e70855d9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/26/2023 Doesn't work on facebook anymore, doesn't run on chrome or firefox.

Douglas S. (ID: 000000411ae547e2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 It WAS fine until, and best I can tell, Chrome 115. Now it fast flickers at the top of the web page. I removed then reinstalled the extension but the issue was still there.

Stefan Kuzmanović (ID: 000000c9c25fca97) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/26/2023 Generally an amazing plugin, love the idea of checking political "alignment" of a website on the fly (factuality would be good to include too btw). But so often the plugin doesn't "activate" and show what it is supposed to, while it activates on sites like Youtube or tech stuff for no reason, just to say that (of course) it doesn't have political information about it. This needs fixing, otherwise an amazing idea.

Eric Tremblay (ID: 0000004bb145fc01) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/26/2023 I don't know what happened with the ground news bar but it mess so much with existing website designs it makes many websites unusable. I have no other choices but to uninstall it until this extension or chrome is fixed.
