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.

Congress MLA Ramya Haridas was hospitalized for injuries after a scuffle with local party workers in Chirayinkeezhu, Thiruvananthapuram, on Friday night. The incident occurred during a visit to a party worker's house intended to settle a dispute involving the MLA's staff member, Palayam Pradeep, and his role in a block panchayat committee meeting. Police have registered a case against seven Congress workers, including Sajith Muttambalam and Sajad, based on a complaint from Haridas. A separate case is expected to be registered following a complaint by Sajad.
Details regarding the catalyst of the fight vary between reports. One account suggests the confrontation began over a WhatsApp post, while another indicates the dispute centered on Mr. Pradeep giving instructions to civic contractors. Social media footage of the event showed the MLA grappling with a worker and the interior of the home in disarray. A district panchayat member has publicly accused the MLA and her aide of trespassing and assault. Police officials stated they would record statements from all parties and notify the Speaker's office.
