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.
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde dismissed speculation regarding her early departure from the bank during a press conference in Berlin. The comments followed the ECB's decision to raise its key deposit rate to 2.5%. When asked about her future, Lagarde stated that when there is something to report about her personally, the public will be the first to know after her grandchildren, and added that there is currently nothing to report. Some reports indicate that speculation about her stepping down before her term expires in October 2027 has circulated since June 2025, with some linking her to the chairmanship of the World Economic Forum.
