without comment
Without an accompanying comment, explanation, or contextualization.
Die Zeitung druckte das umstrittene Foto unkommentiert ab.
The newspaper printed the controversial photo without comment.
The word is made up of the negating prefix 'un-' and 'kommentiert' (commented). 'Kommentiert' is the past participle of the verb 'kommentieren' (to comment). So 'unkommentiert' literally means 'not provided with a comment'.
Er postete das Bild unkommentiert in den sozialen Medien.
He posted the picture on social media without comment.
'Unkommentiert' is especially often used adverbially with the verb 'lassen' (to leave / let). 'Etwas unkommentiert lassen' means that someone consciously decides not to say anything about something.
Die Politikerin wollte die Gerüchte unkommentiert lassen.
The politician wanted to leave the rumors uncommented.
This word is often found in media and journalism. It is frequently combined with verbs such as 'veröffentlichen' (to publish), 'abdrucken' (to print), 'zeigen' (to show), or 'senden' (to broadcast).
Der Sender zeigte die kontroversen Aufnahmen unkommentiert.
The broadcaster showed the controversial footage without comment.
unfounded
When a statement appears without any further explanation, unbegründet and unkommentiert can be confused. Unbegründet says that understandable reasons or supporting evidence are missing; unkommentiert only says that no accompanying comment or context is provided. Choose unbegründet for the content and unkommentiert for the way it is presented.

Die Behauptung steht unkommentiert im Bericht, obwohl die Redaktion sie hätte einordnen können.
The claim appears without comment in the report, even though the editorial team could have put it into context.
Die Behauptung im Bericht ist unbegründet, weil der Autor keine Beweise dafür nennt.
The claim in the report is unfounded because the author provides no evidence for it.
