Exposing Media Bias | Ground News Founder Harleen Kaur

Polarization, Echo Chambers... how do we fix the problem of biased news? That's a problem today's Win-Win guest has dedicated her life to solving.

Harleen Kaur is the founder of Ground News, a news aggregator platform that provides overviews of what different media outlets across the political spectrum report, so that consumers can get a clearer and more impartial perspective. We explore the deeper questions of WHY we’re so divided in the first place, and what are the most promising ways of healing that divide. An especially important topic as we head into the age of synthetic AI generated media!
