About us

Who is behind it

unslant is an independent project created by Felipe Viscardi, an Economics and Business student at Northeastern University. It does not belong to any media outlet, political party, company or interest group.

Why unslant exists

Every text makes choices: which words to use, whom to quote, which numbers to show, what to leave out. Those choices shape how we understand a topic, often without our noticing. I created unslant so that anyone can clearly see the possible biases in a news story, an article or a simple claim, in a way that is easy, educational and accessible to everyone.

The goal is not to tell you whom to believe. It is to give you the tools to read more carefully and reach your own conclusions.

What it is for

unslant is built for the moments when the quality of information matters: when you are preparing an argument, doing research, writing an article or a news story, or simply want to understand something you read or heard.

Our commitments

• The same yardstick for everyone. Texts from any political side, outlet or author are analyzed with the same criteria. That is why we test the tool with mirrored texts that tell the same story slanted in opposite directions.
• No political ties. unslant has no connection to parties, candidates or politicians.
• No money from parties or governments. We do not accept funds from political parties, governments, churches or organizations that could have an interest in the results.
• Public corrections. When we get something wrong, we will fix it and say what changed.
• Transparency about AI. Analyses are performed by artificial intelligence, which can also make mistakes and be biased. We explain how it works, what rules it follows and where it falls short in the Methodology.

How unslant is funded

The project is supported by its users’ paid plans. This choice protects the independence of the analyses: unslant is paid for by the people who use it, not by anyone who might want to influence the results.
