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.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from United States.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has updated its analysis of US Senate races in Texas and Iowa, shifting both contests to toss ups. These races previously leaned in favor of Republicans. According to Jessica Taylor of the Cook Political Report, the overall Senate is now viewed as a toss up that may still slightly favor Republicans, though she noted it is an increasingly competitive opportunity for Democrats.
