It isn't 'one site'

It's a portal  to all the *other* sites, with each news item linked to 
the sites that carry it, with the general political and other biases of 
the sites  clearly stated, so you can see what the commies say, and the 
MAGA people say - and so on  - and compare notes.

As I said, with Ground News it is *allegedly* easier to do what you are 
doing manually, faster.

And if you think its worse than it used to be, that's only because there 
is more access to alternatives.

When I was young, you listened to the BBC and read the Times, or the 
Financial Times and that was that.

Unless you wanted an easier crossword or more sports news.

Eventually you realised that these sources had become pretty much 
PinkoProp™ because the internet gave you access to a whole new level of 
propaganda from Russia Today, Al Jazeera, half a dozen national news 
outlets varying from quite far right to Marxism and all points in between.

And left you with three choices.

1. Believe the ones that fitted your prejudices (easy and comfortable) 
and simply call the others propagandas and dismiss them, This is the 
default option for people who *think* they are intelligent.

...or...

2. Assume as a starting point that all of them were to some extent 
propaganda, try and see who was behind them and why they wanted to 
present you with that side of that particular item. Naturally this is 
far far harder and requires intelligence that very few people have. It 
is the option for people who really *are* intelligent.

...or...

3. Assume it's all bullshit, pick up a squirrel rifle, and a crate of 
beer, turn on the country music and concentrate on something you *do* 
understand. Like women's asses.
This is the default for people who are smart enough to know they are 
dumb, and not be uncomfortable with that fact.

Frankly, I am more comfortable with the threes than the ones. You can do 
without the ones....
