About SlantReport
SlantReport is a political news aggregator that shows how the same story is covered across five distinct editorial perspectives — simultaneously, in real time.
The site pulls headlines from dozens of sources across the American political media landscape, groups them into five editorial buckets, and uses AI to rewrite each headline in the voice of that bucket. The underlying news is the same. The framing is not.
Why it exists
Most news aggregators pick a lane. They surface headlines from sources that share a worldview, which means the reader sees one version of the day’s events. SlantReport is built on a different premise: that the most informative thing you can do with today’s news is show how five different media ecosystems are covering it at the same time.
This is not an attempt to fix polarization. It is an attempt to be honest about it.
The five buckets
SlantReport organizes American political media into five editorial categories. Each bucket has a distinct editorial identity, a defined set of sources, and an AI voice calibrated to match how those sources actually write.
Populist Left
Sources in this bucket prioritize economic inequality, labor, structural power, and systemic critique. Coverage tends to center working-class and marginalized perspectives and is skeptical of corporate and institutional authority from the left.
Sources include: The Intercept, Mother Jones, Jacobin, Democracy Now, Common Dreams, Zeteo, The Nation
Mainstream Left
Sources in this bucket represent the institutional center-left: major newspapers, public broadcasters, and legacy digital outlets. Coverage follows established journalistic norms while reflecting broadly liberal editorial positions on policy and culture.
Sources include: New York Times, NPR, The Atlantic, Vox, Politico, The Guardian, Slate, CNN
Centrist
Sources in this bucket prioritize factual reporting, policy analysis, and perspectives that draw from across the political spectrum. Coverage tends to be less ideologically uniform, often emphasizing institutional, procedural, and international dimensions of stories.
Sources include: BBC World, The Hill, Axios, NYT World, Bloomberg Politics, The Economist, Reason, Time Magazine
Conservative
Sources in this bucket represent the institutional American right: traditional conservative publications, opinion journals, and commentators who operate within established conservative intellectual frameworks. Coverage reflects center-right positions on economics, culture, and governance.
Sources include: WSJ Opinion, National Review, The Dispatch, New York Post, Washington Times, The Bulwark, Matt Lewis, David Frum
MAGA
Sources in this bucket reflect the populist-nationalist wing of American conservatism associated with the Trump political movement. Coverage is explicitly partisan, skeptical of mainstream institutions, and oriented around the political priorities of the MAGA coalition.
Sources include: Breitbart, Daily Wire, The Federalist, Western Journal, Just The News, Washington Examiner, Townhall, The Daily Caller
How it works
Every 30 minutes, SlantReport fetches the latest headlines from each bucket’s sources. The top stories are surfaced, ranked, and rewritten by AI to match the editorial voice of that bucket. One story — selected by an algorithm that weights novelty, source diversity, recency, and editorial significance — is featured as the Slant Pick.
The dial at the top of the page is the navigation. Click any slice to load that bucket’s headlines. The same story may appear in multiple buckets, rewritten differently each time.
What it is not
SlantReport does not create original reporting. It does not editorially endorse any of the five perspectives. It does not select which events are newsworthy — that determination is made by the underlying sources. The site aggregates, frames, and contrasts. The conclusions are yours to draw.
