1. 5/5Balanced

   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!!!!

2. 5/5First thoughts.

   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…

3. 5/5Skeptical no more

   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

4. 2/5Left leaning — Not Unbiased

   When I first downloaded this app, it seemed in the middle, but now all of the synopsis news stories they create have a definite left focus and verbiage. Several times the reporter left out key facts from original article. I confirmed that by looking at the articles they said they used in creating and found valid and important facts left out of their articles that contradicted their tone and message. Also, If they were unbiased, they would have a mix of some left leaning and some right leaning “articles” they push out. I still think the app is useful only to show when things are reported on one side and not the other, but I don’t rely on their news articles/ synopsis or even care to read them anymore because trust is gone when you have to verify each article. I might as well read the original articles myself. I have an issue with them calling themselves unbiased at this point. Just the facts, sir, I don’t need your opinion skewing what you write in your “articles”. I haven’t deleted it yet because I’m hoping they will self correct, but not waiting much longer.

5. 5/5You get 3 stars for effort, 2 for results

   Journalists have been overwhelmingly far-left for decades, surrounded by like-minded peers, so they can’t even recognize neutrality. I stuck with SAN for almost a year, hoping they’d just deliver the news straight. Instead, they constantly slip in left-wing rhetoric that bashes over half the country. It’s just a milder version of the America-hating, confused, lemming-like Democratic Party. Journalism students get grabbed young, force-fed an ideology like a religion, and anyone who questions it gets ostracized. It is actually a cult. The Left is not taught critical thinking in college, they’re getting brainwashed into a rigid belief system that punishes doubt and rewards blind loyalty. It’s not education, it’s indoctrination, and the second someone steps out of line, they’re excommunicated. SAN is trying , with it’s professionally trained journalists, but you can’t wash away decades of lies.
