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.

Carlos Alcaraz announced on Thursday that he will return to professional tennis to compete in the US Open. The world number 2 has been away from the courts for four months after suffering a right wrist injury during the Barcelona tournament in April. This injury forced him to miss both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Alcaraz shared the news via a brief video on Instagram, using the phrase "Here we go." He is the defending champion of the US Open, having previously won the title in 2022 and 2025. While he was expected to return at the Cincinnati Masters 1000, he remained in Spain to continue training. He will travel to New York this weekend for the tournament, which runs from August 30 to September 13. Reports indicate he may wear a compression sleeve on his right arm, a measure he has used previously. During his absence, he has failed to defend 6,130 ranking points, but he now seeks to defend the 2,000 points associated with his current title.
