    The most hilarious part is that Ground News tries to present itself as “unbiased” by covering news from “left” and “right”, but it does so from a US perspective, so almost all international sources are considered “left”.

    They are not left, it’s you who is right, lol.

    Which, BTW, highlights the broader issue of American politics, which is that people were honestly made to believe moderate right is the center, or even left. It is not.

    Ground news is no more a news source then an RSS reader is. It just also happens to catagoeize the sources as left or right which helps if you want to actually know what people outside of your personal bubble are reading.

    I mean, of the possible sponsors out there, Ground News is pretty alright. I don’t particularly need another subscription, but it seems like a valuable enough service

      It doesn’t provide any real benefit other than letting you know whether a news site is “left” or “right” leaning. Which is a massive false dichotomy used to divide people.

      I prefer objective truth myself.

        With honey the youtuber was actually the victim, so I wouldn’t judge them too harshly for that one. Small channels don’t have the flexibility to pick whatever sponsor they like. They’re just trying to get by.

      With some YouTubers I’m the one who usually submits to sponsor block 🤷‍♂️ Also, that’s not an option on a tv.

        Depends on your TV. If its software is android based, there are apps available if you don’t mind sideloading. Though I would recommend using something like a firestick to minimize the risk.
