Since the 1960s especially during Vietnam, Americans became concerned with the media. Concerned with reporting facts. The issue of facts, true investigative journalism, and the “ protection of the Third Estate “became a reality with the rise of the Internet and social media. Newspapers lost advertising revenue stream. Investigative journalism/journalists were a funding black hole .. How could printed / cable / Traditional news networks maintain the bottom line? Result closing of overseas news bureaus .. with that the source of information became government agencies .. no independent verification.. no probative questions just accepting at face value. The “ Media “ in general capitulated to political parties . The largest capitulation was the liberal media CNN , ABC ( Remember Ted and “ Night Line “ ) NYT , WP, etc . On the conservative side FOX and NEWSMAX .. EPOCH TIMES .. My opinion the ratio was 90% capitulation of traditional media sources to more liberal ideas, politics etc I, as a conservative, do want to understand all sides of a particular issue. I NEVER would consider that any one side is fully trustworthy. However, with your App, etc I do find it’s balanced and that is what I want! THANK YOU!!!!

I just saw an ad a few days ago about sans news from a youtuber Tyler Oliveria, downloaded it and forgot about it. Then a notification popped up trying to tailor my settings. At first, It sounded like a free competitor to ground news, an app I had been thinking about purchasing. But honestly, the reason I am here now typing this is because it was free and granted me access to the unfiltered news I wanted. I thought I should insist leaving a good review and seeing what micro purchases can help them. Not really interested in a subscription though at all. I feel like a merit system might work. Like “hey we’re Sans news. Haven’t had a contribution from ya in a while, if you appreciate us we’d appreciate you… if you could send like 2 bucks that be great but no biggie. Thanks” but ye I like the blind spot feature. I’m centre right and I want to be informed both ways. The first pop up notification/story I clicked was basically “GOP urges Trump to increase protection for Ukraine” and I like when we are all humbled. If you’re reading this, remember… stay humble or be humbled…

When I first became aware of this news app I was skeptical for sure. So, I did a bit of fact checking and decided to download the app. True to the name this outlet calls it like it is and doesn’t get pushed left or right. In fact this news service calls out both left and right when important news stories are ‘conveniently left unpublished’ and labels them as Miss by Right or Miss by Left. What I particularly like reading is the subsection detailing why a particular missed news story is important for all sides to hear and what reporting on the same news stories actually sound like from a left leaning or right leaning point of view as a comparison to SAN reporting. No echo chamber nonsense like Fox, CNN and the like. This is the closest I have seen to when Walter Cronkite would read the news on television before corporate biased interests changed all that
