Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one 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.

Christopher Nolan's film "The Odyssey" has earned over 700 million US dollars in less than 15 days and is breaking records. The movie adapts the ancient Greek poem by Homer, following Odysseus on a ten year journey back to Ithaca after the Trojan War while facing a curse from Poseidon. The cast includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson.
The film has significantly increased public interest in the original literature; searches for the poem grew by 1,900 percent in Brazil and 1,150 percent globally during July.
Reports from a center perspective highlight these financial figures and the increase in literary interest. In contrast, reports from a center right perspective focus on Elon Musk's reaction to the film, specifically his claim that it "pissed on Homer's grave" and his announcement of an AI version of the story.
