144 outlets. One event. Seven incompatible accounts of it.
Turkish media splits cleanly along known lines, and everyone already knows which paper they trust. The interesting question is not who is biased — it is which stories a whole side of the spectrum simply did not run.
A story, by who ran it
Every card leads with this bar rather than a grid of mastheads. The width is how much of the coverage came from each bucket. The hatched slot is the finding.
That empty slot is a blindspot. A story carried by six buckets and ignored by the seventh, surfaced on the card instead of buried in a filter nobody opens.
How it works
RSS in, clusters out, continuously. Nothing here is a language model doing the clustering on vibes.
144 feeds, always on
RSS from outlets spanning the full spectrum, pulled on a schedule rather than on demand, so the archive is there before anyone asks a question of it.
Three methods, not one
An ensemble decides which articles are covering the same story. One method alone either splits a story into five or welds two unrelated ones together.
Blindspots and surprises
Two flags: stories only one side ran, and the more interesting case — an outlet breaking ranks with the bucket it normally sits in.
What it isn’t
Worth saying plainly, given what it touches.
It doesn’t tell you who’s right
Bias buckets describe where an outlet sits, not whether a given article is true. The tool shows you the spread and the gaps; the reading is still yours.
A side project, with someone else
It has nothing to do with coding agents and it is built with a friend rather than by the studio. It is listed here because it is real and we are building it, and leaving it off would be the tidier kind of dishonest.
Where it’s at
In development, on the side, at the pace two people manage around everything else. The ingest and clustering run; the reading experience is the part still moving.
Ground News exists and is good. This one is for a media landscape that one does not cover, in a language it does not read.
Read Turkish news?
If you follow this stuff and think a bucket is drawn wrong, that is genuinely useful and hard to get.
