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.

Como secured a historic 4:1 victory over RB Leipzig in their first ever Champions League match. Martin Baturina opened the scoring in the 15th minute, followed by a goal from Tasos Douvikas in the 38th minute. Assane Diao added a third in the 54th minute, while Andrija Maksimovic scored a consolation goal for Leipzig in the 58th minute. Maximo Perrone sealed the win with a final goal in the 90th minute. The match took place at the Sinigaglia stadium, where Como dominated much of the play with an aggressive and fast style of play.
RB Leipzig struggled to implement the strategy of coach Martin Demichelis, who had called for a strong reaction following a 1:3 loss to Bremen. Leipzig managed only 40 percent possession in the first half and struggled with passing speed and intensity. While the German side showed more control early in the second half, they remained vulnerable to Como's counterattacks.
Reporting on the event differed based on political lean. The center leaning source framed the match as a spectacular and emotional triumph for Como, emphasizing the quality of the play and the historic nature of the win. In contrast, the center right leaning source framed the event as a nightmare for Leipzig, focusing on the failure of the coaching strategy and the increasing pressure on Martin Demichelis.
