- 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.

Arsenal secured their fourth consecutive Premier League win with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday. The match was decided by a critical sequence in the second half. David Raya saved a penalty from Enzo Le Fee in the 55th minute, and just two minutes later, substitute Bruno Guimaraes scored the opening goal with a strike that hit the underside of the crossbar. Bukayo Saka added a second goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time after Sunderland defender Reinildo was sent off for a foul in the box. The result leaves Arsenal at the top of the table with 12 points.
Post match reactions focused heavily on the penalty awarded to Sunderland. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed strong frustration, calling the decision unacceptable and stating that the game was unprotected. While some analysts suggested the foul by Ezri Konsa was clear due to new directives against grappling at corners, others argued that Sunderland player Dan Ballard had initiated the contact.
In other Premier League action, Nottingham Forest defeated Aston Villa 2-1, while Fulham played Liverpool to a goalless draw. Hull City earned a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, and Tottenham played Everton to a scoreless draw. Crystal Palace suffered a 3-2 home loss to Ipswich, and Brentford drew 2-2 with Bournemouth. Manchester City is scheduled to face Manchester United on Sunday.
