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 outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Arsenal have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign midfielder Bruno Guimarães. Reports from The Athletic and Sky Sports indicate that the clubs have agreed on a transfer fee, with one source citing a sum of approximately 950 million kroner and another reporting a fee of 75 million pounds. The 28 year old Brazilian international has been granted permission to travel for a medical.
Newcastle initially rejected several bids from Arsenal before the two clubs reached an agreement following direct talks. Guimarães joined Newcastle from Lyon in 2022 and has since made 195 appearances and scored 31 goals. He has two years remaining on his contract, with one source noting an option for an additional year. During his tenure, he captained Newcastle to League Cup success in 2025.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta intends to integrate the versatile midfielder into a squad that includes Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, and Myles Lewis Skelly. The move follows the departures of manager Eddie Howe and players Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle. Guimarães most recently represented Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, where he provided four assists despite missing a penalty in the round of 16 loss to Norway.
