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.

AS Monaco took the sole lead of Ligue 1 after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2 to 1 on Friday, September 4. The result leaves PSG without a victory in their first three matches of the season. Marquinhos gave PSG an early lead in the 31st minute, but Monaco responded with goals from Flavio Nazinho in the 58th minute and Stanis Idumbo in the 72nd minute. Monaco now holds a seven point lead over PSG in the standings.
Prior to the match, PSG announced several contract extensions. Coach Luis Enrique extended his contract until 2030, while players Lucas Beraldo, Senny Mayulu, Joao Neves, Willian Pacho, and Fabián Ruiz also signed extensions. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated that these extensions represent the present and future of the club project.
Following the loss, Luis Enrique noted that the opposing goalkeeper was the best player on the pitch and expressed confidence in rectifying the team's form. Monaco coach Filipe Luis praised his players for their defensive effort and behavior. The center-left source framed the result as a sign of defensive fragility and disorder for the reigning champions. In contrast, the center-right source framed the event around the irony of the defeat occurring immediately after a series of high-profile contract extensions and celebrations of the club's trophy collection.
