Rating System

Overview

OpenGroundNews mirrors the Ground News-style media bias spectrum and shows you how story coverage changes across the political landscape. Ratings are designed to be auditable: we store per-source metadata and compute distributions from tracked source cards.

Bias spectrum7-category rating

Sources without reliable metadata are labeled unknown. We avoid guessing bias from domain names.

How Ratings Are Assigned

Bias ratings, factuality ratings, and ownership labels are sourced from the Ground News metadata layer when available. When a signal is missing or ambiguous, we keep it as unknown rather than guessing.

  • Bias spectrum: Far Left .. Far Right (7 categories)
  • Story bias bars: aggregated Left/Center/Right distribution of tracked source cards
  • Blindspot: flagged when coverage is heavily skewed to one side
