Ground News- Bias Checker: This extension is available in a variety of browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and various others. This tool allows users to compare news from a variety of sources to note bias, any potential blind-spots from reporting on a particular issue, and offering more independent news sources. The extension also provides users with ratings for bias (by noting where on a spectrum from far-left to far-right an article might fall,) as well as factuality ratings and ownership of News' company to further aid users in determining credibility and gathering information on a topic.
