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.

Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, and his longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez, 32, married in a civil ceremony on Tuesday, August 11. The couple announced the news via Instagram with a photo of their hands wearing gold wedding rings and the caption "C❤️G". According to the Brunswick Group, which represents Ronaldo, the private and intimate ceremony took place at a luxury coastal resort in Cascais, west of Lisbon, with their five children in attendance.

The couple has been together for approximately ten years, having met at a Gucci store in Madrid while Ronaldo played for Real Madrid. The wedding occurred exactly one year after their engagement was announced on August 11, 2025, when Rodríguez shared a photo of a large diamond ring.

While most reports presented the event as a straightforward announcement, framing varied slightly by political lean. Center leaning outlets generally focused on the factual details of the marriage and the couple's history. Center left outlets emphasized the intimate nature of the ceremony and the presence of the children. One center right outlet framed the event with more caution, noting that an official confirmation was initially pending and using the term "likely married" while also including critical commentary regarding Ronaldo's recent World Cup performance.
