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.

Every source for this story reports from Germany.

TV personalities Annemarie and Wayne Carpendale have announced their separation after nearly 19 years together. In a joint statement posted to Instagram, the couple revealed they have not been a couple since the beginning of the year. The announcement followed a prior report on the separation by the Bild newspaper.

Despite the split, the pair stated that they continue to live under the same roof, remain a family, and continue to wear their wedding rings. They described themselves as a good team and noted that their positive relationship is likely why the separation remained unnoticed by the public. The couple, who married in 2013 and have a son together, said they are taking this path without drama and without knowing exactly what the future holds.

Both reports present the facts of the separation neutrally, focusing on the couple's desire for a peaceful transition and their commitment to their family unit.
