slanted

Leaning to one

Slanted means positioned at an angle rather than straight up-and-down or level: slanted handwriting, a slanted roof.

The word also describes information presented with bias—tilted toward a particular viewpoint: The coverage was slanted in favor of the incumbent.

A slanted perspective isn't neutral; it leans.
