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.

Anthropic is shifting its initial public offering launch toward mid October. Some investors suggest the listing could value the company at as much as $2 trillion. The upcoming IPO is bringing scrutiny to the company's experimental governance structure, specifically its Long Term Benefit Trust. This trust is a small group of advisers designed to ensure AI is developed for the long term benefit of humanity despite commercial pressures. The trust holds no equity but maintains significant influence, including the right to appoint or dismiss the majority of the company's board. Currently, the trust has selected four of the seven directors, including Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan and Netflix co founder Reed Hastings. The trust is chaired by Neil Buddy Shah and includes former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke and CNAS CEO Richard Fontaine. The group aims to create an industry blueprint for AI governance. Trustees meet weekly and receive advance notice of major actions, such as the launch of new AI models.
