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.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the couple's return to the United Kingdom after six years of living in the United States. Speaking during a press conference in the Oval Office and in an interview with GB News, Trump stated that he would not have accepted the couple back if he were the royal family. He specifically described Meghan Markle as tremendously irrespetuosa and a horrible influence on Prince Harry. Trump also criticized Prince Harry for the contents of his memoir, Spare, claiming the book was terrible to Prince William.
Despite his criticism of the Sussexes, Trump praised King Charles III, calling him a fantastic guy and a friend. He noted that King Charles is a better person than he is for offering an olive branch to his son and daughter in law. Trump also mentioned maintaining a very good relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the UK on August 26 with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Reports indicate the children will attend an exclusive private school this September. While the family will not live in an official residence, reports suggest they may settle in a high end area such as the Cotswolds. The couple is expected to remain non working royals, as their return does not imply a resumption of public representation duties.
Both reports originate from center left outlets, and they maintain a similar tone of reporting Trump's critical remarks. One source focuses more on the logistical details of the couple's move and rumors regarding Meghan Markle's acting career, while the other emphasizes the interpersonal rift between Prince Harry and Prince William.
