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.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Brazilian canoer Isaquias Queiroz won the gold medal in the C1 500m event at the World Canoeing Championships in Poznan, Poland, on Saturday, August 29. Queiroz finished with a time of 1 minute 46.08 seconds, beating Czech athlete Martin Fuksa, who took silver, and China's Bowen Ji, who took bronze. This victory marks the 15th World Championship medal of Queiroz's career, including eight golds. The win served as a significant recovery for the 32 year old athlete, who had previously finished in the lower rankings of the C1 1000m event on Friday. Queiroz stated that he is now focusing his training on the Los Angeles Olympics.
