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.
Australian safety regulators are investigating a near collision between a Jetstar A320 and a Qatar Airways Boeing 777 on the tarmac at Sydney Airport on Sunday. The incident occurred while the Jetstar plane was taxiing for takeoff to the Gold Coast and the Qatar Airways aircraft was being towed by a tug. Both aircraft stopped abruptly, which resulted in an injury to a Jetstar cabin crew member and damage to the connection between the Boeing 777 nose gear and the tug. The injured crew member received treatment from paramedics.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is gathering data from air traffic control and both aircraft, and is interviewing crew and tug operators to determine the cause. Jetstar stated that its pilots were following air traffic control instructions when they were forced to brake firmly. Airservices Australia reported that flights at the airport experienced delays following the event. This incident followed a day of widespread delays at the airport caused by departure spacing authorizations due to air traffic controller roster issues.
