The Ground News team is based in Kitchener, Canada, and is made up of a small team of media industry outsiders. We are not funded by a media company, big tech, government affiliations nor institutional investors - we are supported by our subscribers and a small group of individual investors who care about the problem personally.
They use AI like the AllSides Bias Fact Checker among others to come up with their ratings. I agree with the other commenter that CNN being rated as “lean left” is absurd.
Bloomberg is rated as “lean left” despite being owned by billionaires Warren Buffet and Michael Bloomberg, and multinational investment management companies Blackrock and Vanguard.
Postmedia’s National Post and CTV News are rated as “Very High” factuality.
Meanwhile, The Toronto Sun has the same “High” factuality rating as The Toronto Star and The Narwhal. Not to mention that the National Post “leans right” as much as the Toronto Star “leans left”. The Narwhal is purportedly as “left” as Breitbart is “right”.
