[–] bystander@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago* (2 children) Here's a video I saw from an Australian YouTuber that voiced his criticisms. https://youtu.be/bfHx4CfKFqQ The main 2 critiques I took away from: Very American to group things as left and right leaning. We have a political compass for a reason. All news orgs are just different special business interests. Especially in the US. But people have different issues with it. Just one person's view point. It does paint a deeper problem with the US news system. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] yessikg@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) The creators of Ground News are Canadian, so that tells me this Youtuber didn't even do his homework. Also there are different versions that you can use: US Edition, International, UK, Canada, and Europe permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bystander@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* Not defending the YouTuber here. I'm just replying to the OP asking what critiques are out there, and this was one I came across. I still think their target audience is the US population, as with many digital products made in Canada. It's a pattern I've seen constantly as a Canadian. Larger consumer base = more money. There are different versions yes, I see the Canadian version when I go on it. I will argue that the product itself is 100% born out of the polarization and decline of American journalism, and media conglomerates owning new organizations with business interests. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) you should never use a youtuber as a citation, they often frame things in a way that is beneficial to thier viewership permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bystander@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago I never frame the YouTuber as a factual citation, I specifically framed it as a point of view of one person.
