- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
An American man named Thomas Fahmy survived being struck by lightning while walking home with an umbrella during a storm in New York. The incident was captured on a security camera located by the front door of a residential house. Fahmy reported seeing a white flash and feeling intense pain before collapsing. He described a sensation of numbness and a feeling similar to walking on air. Although he was taken to the hospital, he suffered only minor injuries. Fahmy stated that the experience served as a reminder that human life can end in an instant.
