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.

FC Bayern Munich defeated second division side VfL Osnabrück 4:1 to advance to the second round of the DFB-Pokal. With this victory, all 18 Bundesliga clubs have successfully navigated the first round of the competition for the first time in 18 years. The draw for the second round is scheduled for Saturday at 17:45 at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
Playing before 15,741 spectators at the sold out stadium at the Bremer Brücke, Osnabrück took a surprising lead in the fifth minute when Robin Meißner scored from 30 meters. Bayern Munich responded before halftime with goals from Harry Kane in the 18th minute and Tom Bischof in the 24th minute. Michael Olise scored in the 73rd minute, and Harry Kane added a second goal via a penalty in the 86th minute to secure the win.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany fielded a strong starting lineup including Kane, Joshua Kimmich, Luis Diaz, and Olise. However, Jamal Musiala did not feature in the squad. Kompany stated that Musiala is recovering from a neurological condition that required medication adjustments and that he did not want to put undue pressure on the player regarding his return.
Reports on the match dynamics varied slightly by political lean. Center left sources emphasized the emotional atmosphere of the stadium and the courageous defensive effort of the underdogs. In contrast, center right coverage focused more on the clinical nature of the victory and included specific quotes from players and coaches regarding the team's discipline.
