- 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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Brazilian Supreme Court Vice President Alexandre de Moraes is facing intense pressure following police reports detailing links to a banker involved in a financial scandal. These revelations have led several members of the Senate to file requests for his impeachment. Among those signing the requests are Senator Carlos Viana, Senator Damares Alves, and opposition leader Rogério Marinho. Senator Flávio Arns, a member of the PSB and part of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government base, also signed a request presented by federal deputy Marcel Van Hattem. Arns cited possible crimes of responsibility and called for transparent investigations without interference.
Outlets with a center lean frame the situation as a general state of pressure on the judge due to corruption revelations. In contrast, center right framing emphasizes the specific legislative actions being taken by senators to hold the judge accountable through the impeachment process.
