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 India.

The Enforcement Directorate has attached movable and immovable properties worth 63.30 lakh in connection with the 2021 UKSSSC graduate level examination paper leak case. The agency alleges that an accused individual, Hakam Singh Rawat, received approximately 95 lakh from candidates and attempted to disguise the funds as legitimate income through bank deposits and tax filings. Simultaneously, social activist and former IPS officer Amitabh Thakur has called on the Uttar Pradesh government to establish a state level special monitoring cell. Thakur argues that such a cell is necessary for time bound investigations and prompt prosecution to restore public faith in recruitment drives. He specifically highlighted the 2006 Railway Recruitment Examination leak involving two NDA MLAs as evidence that cases can remain pending for decades. Additionally, the Congress party has demanded a White Paper on irregular recruitments and paper leaks over the last nine years, calling for accountability regarding ruling party MLAs accused in such schemes.
