- 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.

Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira stated that Argentina must immediately stop aggressions against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to normalize bilateral relations. In an interview with the Argentine newspaper Clarín, Vieira explained that relations were downgraded because President Javier Milei attacked not only individuals but also Brazil, its institutions, and a Supreme Court justice. This diplomatic downgrade includes the departure of Argentine Ambassador Guillermo Daniel Raimondi from Brazil, while the Brazilian ambassador in Argentina remains in place.
The conflict intensified following a speech by Milei in São Paulo during a political event for Flávio Bolsonaro, where the Argentine president called Lula a thief and a prisoner. Milei also targeted Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes, referring to him as bald trash. In a subsequent interview with LN+, Milei accused Lula of contaminating the region with socialism and called him a crook.
Vieira dismissed Milei's claims that Brazil is financing an international campaign against Argentina as a complete lie. He also expressed surprise at Milei's description of Lula as a communist, noting that Brazil operates under a capitalist model with an open economy and low unemployment. Vieira emphasized that the suspension of these offenses is necessary to resume the path of normality between the two historical allies and major trading partners.
