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.

President Donald Trump stated that he is happy Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left the United States to return to the United Kingdom. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he was not a fan of the couple and accused them of treating the British royal family with great disrespect. He specifically criticized Meghan Markle, stating that he did not like the way she acted and found her terribly disrespectful toward Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to Britain at the end of August after living in California for six years. The couple had stepped down from their official royal duties in 2020. Trump added that if he were a member of the royal family, he would not have taken Prince Harry back.
Reports indicate the family may be staying in the UK for an extended period, though it remains unclear if the move is permanent. Some sources note that the return follows years of tension between Harry and his family, including legal disputes over security status for the couple and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
