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.

Boca Juniors has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina following a victory over Vélez Sarsfield on penalties at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba. Manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena praised the team's performance and the role of goalkeeper Álvaro Montero, who made a key save during the shootout. Arruabarrena noted that the team's history and hierarchy played a part in their success during the penalty phase.
Addressing concerns regarding captain Leandro Paredes, who was substituted near the end of the match due to physical discomfort, Arruabarrena stated that the issue was not serious. He explained that Paredes is essential for the team's pace and would not be substituted if he were fully fit. The manager also highlighted the contributions of substitutes Kevin Zenón and Carlos Palacios, as well as the speed provided by Alan Velasco.
Looking ahead, Boca Juniors faces a demanding schedule. The team is set to play Gimnasia in Mendoza in the Torneo Clausura before competing in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana against San Pablo. In the Copa Argentina, Boca will next face Racing.
Arruabarrena reflected on the importance of the tournament for institutional prestige and the possibility of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores. He also recalled a previous experience winning the title in 2015, which he described as ending in a mess due to a controversial penalty.
