How One Political Story Gets Told Differently
When a major news event breaks, it’s often covered by dozens — sometimes hundreds — of outlets. But the framing isn’t the same. Some headlines amplify outrage. Others minimize it. And some stories barely register on one side of the political spectrum at all.
That’s exactly why I chose to partner with Ground News.
As someone who spends every day immersed in political coverage, I wanted a tool that helps cut through narrative spin — not add to it. Ground News makes those differences visible.
For any major story, you can see how many sources are covering it, whether coverage skews left or right, and how headlines change depending on the outlet. Side-by-side comparisons reveal gaps and blind spots you’d otherwise miss.
If you want to understand how political news is being framed — not just what happened — Ground News is genuinely useful.
