Unescape and then sanitize data in Angular

Question

The API I am using automatically escapes any strings from user inputs(as it should). I am having a real hard time finding the best way to unescape/sanitize the data to then use on my page. Is a directive a good route to go here?

Sample Response

<b>This is the response!</b><br><br><i>It comes in italic, too.</i>

Template

<div ng-bind-html="groupsDetailCtrl.group.information.text"></div>
<!-- Or pass in to directive? -->
<group-information content="groupsDetailCtrl.group.information.text"></group-information>

Currently Output on page is just something like this

<b>This is the response</b>

When of course it should be
