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.

U.S. President Donald Trump appeared in public with visibly darker, brown hair upon arriving in New Jersey on Friday. The change was noted when he landed in Morristown and arrived at the Trump National Golf Club of Bedminster. This shift follows a period where his hair had transitioned from a golden blond to progressively lighter tones, sometimes appearing white. Recent observations in early August during a visit to Las Vegas had already suggested a move toward more sober tones.
Reports on the change vary in framing. A center leaning source focused on the public reaction, noting that the new look became a joke on social networks. A center right leaning source provided more context on the evolution of the president's image since 2016 and mentioned that the New York Post highlighted the rarity of such a change to his characteristic appearance. It remains unclear how long the new color will last, as the president was seen wearing his red Maga hat on Saturday, obscuring his hair.
