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.

President Donald Trump has named Adam Telle as the acting secretary of the US Army. Telle previously served as the assistant secretary overseeing civil works. He succeeds Dan Driscoll, who resigned from the position after 18 months in the role. Trump announced the appointment on Truth Social on Thursday evening. According to the Wall Street Journal, Driscoll resigned following several months of conflict with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the direction of the army and Hegseth's dismissal of several high ranking officers.
