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.

A car bomb exploded in front of a police station in Los Patios, located in the metropolitan area of Cúcuta, during the early hours of Tuesday, September 1. The attack resulted in at least one death and several injuries. According to reports, the explosion caused damage to the station infrastructure, affected vehicles, and incinerated several motorcycles. Two police officers were among the injured, while preliminary reports indicate one civilian died and nine others were affected. The National Police and the Attorney General's Office have launched investigations to identify the perpetrators, though no group has claimed responsibility.
Political reactions to the event varied based on ideological leanings. Center right framing emphasized the attack as a crime against democracy and the rule of law, with some representatives attributing the violence to the failure of previous peace policies. In contrast, center left coverage focused on the immediate casualty and the nature of the attack without incorporating political commentary on government policy.
