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.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Donald Trump has issued an order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America for users of Apple Maps in the United States. The directive has faced public pushback, including from Republican Mayor Robert Corradino of Oswego, New York. Corradino stated that the lake is central to the identity of his community and that the name means a lot to the residents of Oswego and Oswego County regardless of political affiliation. Public reaction has also included commentary from individuals in the United Kingdom who have questioned the precedent of the renaming or mocked the change.
