Paste a link to a news story
The page opens here and Ground Truth reads it in the panel, exactly as it would in your own browser.
A bias check for whatever you’re reading
See how the story you’re reading is framed.
Ground Truth sits beside the article and shows which way it leans, how heated the language is, and whether you’re reading reporting or someone’s argument. Give the demo below a link and watch it read a story you picked.
New tab
Or try one:
Real articles, actually read: paste any link, or take whatever an outlet is leading with. The demo fetches the page, pulls out its text and sends it to TypeSafe, which answers the same five questions the extension asks. Nothing about you is stored, and the number of reads is capped so it stays up. A YouTube link works too: it reads the transcript.
The part you’d otherwise have to do yourself
Whose story is this, and how is it being told? You can usually work it out by the fourth paragraph. This just gets you there sooner.
A split, not a label
Most stories aren’t all one thing. You get the share that reads left, center and right — not a single stamp on the whole piece.
Nothing to press
Open a story and it’s already read. The toolbar icon shows the lean at a glance; the panel has the rest when you want it.
Says when it’s torn
When a piece pulls both ways, it says so, instead of splitting the difference and calling it balanced.
Points you elsewhere
One click opens the same story as other outlets told it. Use it to start the argument, not to end it.
It never sees where else you’ve been.
Ground Truth reads the page you have open, and only to answer the question on screen. There’s no account, nothing of yours is stored, and what it read is gone when you close the browser. You choose which sites it works on — all of them, or a short list. The demo above works the same way: it fetches the link you hand it, and keeps nothing else.
