I love Ground News as a concept, but I always feel suss using anything which is promoted in sponsorship deal by YouTubers.

Is there anything I should know about them as an organisation? I feel by design if they were to have biases or open to manipulation that it would be really obvious..

Each specific article will show you the sources. It's kind of interesting to flip through the headlines and see how each source might describe the same thing differently.

Is there a bias checker to tell me how biased mediabiasfactcheck is?

Overall, we rate Ground News Least Biased based on publishing news stories from both sides of the political spectrum and appropriately labeling their bias. We also rate them mostly factual rather than High due to the use of poor sources that can publish false or misleading information; however, these news stories are typically reported by other credible media outlets meaning they most likely are factual.
