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.

England held a 195 run lead over Pakistan at the end of a rain shortened second day of the first Test at Headingley. England reached 366 for 8 after Pakistan was bowled out for 171 in their first innings. Harry Brook scored 91 runs from 93 balls, capitalizing on a dropped catch by Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha. Brook was eventually dismissed by spinner Usman Ali, who took 5 for 92. Other notable contributions included 73 runs from Jordan Cox and 66 runs from captain Joe Root, who is beginning his second stint as full time captain. Dan Lawrence added 51 runs to the total. England's bowling effort on the first day saw Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue each take five wickets. While the match progress is factual across reports, the framing of the performances varies. A center lean perspective focuses on the technical maturity of Brook's batting and his readiness for future leadership, while a center left lean perspective frames the failure of Root and Cox to score centuries as a lack of ruthlessness that has plagued England's recent form.
