- 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.

Former Brazilian football player Cafu has publicly defended FIFA President Gianni Infantino on social media. Infantino has faced significant pressure following the failure of a proposal to create the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), a subsidiary intended to manage and exploit the commercial rights of major competitions that could have allowed external investors to acquire a percentage of the entity.
Cafu stated that Infantino's work over the last ten years has promoted the representativeness of players in football, noting that players and former players have gained voice and space through committees and working groups. He described the current state of the sport as a great revolution and evolution, affirming his commitment to supporting these changes to benefit people globally.
Former player Roberto Carlos supported Cafu's statements by reposting the message and writing that he was 100 percent in agreement with the captain.
