- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

Enric Mas is close to winning the Vuelta a España following the penultimate stage. Mikel Landa won the 186.6 kilometer stage from La Calahorra to Collado del Alguacil as a soloist. Tobias Johannessen finished second and Ramses Debruyne finished third. During the stage, Mas was isolated from other favorites, including Primoz Roglic and Felix Gall, after the second of five climbs. Gall gained 17 seconds on Mas during the final phase of the race. Roglic, who entered the stage with a 1:37 deficit, was unable to launch a decisive attack and was distanced on the final climb. The final stage will cover 112 kilometers and end in Granada. There are unconfirmed reports that the race may be neutralized before the final lap for rider safety, meaning the overall standings would be finalized early.
Reporting on the event differed slightly by political lean. The center left source framed Mas as resisting his pursuers with solvency. The center right source described Mas as using a defensive riding style to keep attacks under control.
