- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.
Data centers have become a significant political issue in the United States and are influencing midterm elections. In Tennessee, a candidate is actively campaigning against these facilities. While the center right framing describes the situation as a growing hatred of the facilities that is reshaping elections, the center left framing focuses on the candidate's argument that the companies operating these centers do not care about the lives of local residents.
How each side framed it
- Centre-left
- The framing focuses on the human cost and the candidate's fight against corporate indifference.
- Centre-right
