    Ground News does a lot more fact-checking, exposes biases, compares news sources, analyses funding, and much more. All Google News does is collect and display news, which is but one feature of Ground News.

    Google is a known ally of Trump and his administration. Ground news is unbiased and gives the comparison of news sources and which way they lean

    Google news is bias. It does not show any other view than the left and if you have a problem with that you are call a name.

    Has a very similar interface albeit less features. But the main feature of comparing the news sources by bias is there. They also have have rating for each article with an in-depth analysis of why that rating was given for example what is referenced in the article, who else is reporting on it, expertise of author, and so on. Not everything can be drilled down into, but it is useful information to consider.

    Quite similar but not at the same level of depth.

    It's similar, but has no depth. All it does is screenshot selected, USA news sources hourly, and present them side by side. There is no analysis, no bias or fact check, and no links to the actual articles.
