Ground News: The "World’s First News Comparison Platform"

Ground News is an app which claims to be the "World’s first News Comparison Platform".

The app evaluates the conservative or liberal bias of a news source, the currency of the news story, and the geographic region where the reporting originated. Note that there is a fee for this service, and the stories seem to have a British Commonwealth focus.
