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.

VfB Stuttgart began their Champions League league phase with a 3:1 victory over Viking Stavanger. Striker Ermedin Demirovic scored three goals within a twelve minute span in the 20th, 26th, and 32nd minutes. The match took place on the club's 133th birthday. Zlatko Tripic scored the lone goal for the Norwegian champions in the 22nd minute. Deniz Undav provided two assists for Demirovic during the match. Both teams wore mourning bands to honor the flood victims of Nepal and the late King Harald V of Norway.
Demirovic started the match in place of Dzenan Pejcinovic. The first goal followed a play involving Chris Führich and Angelo Stiller. The second goal came from a pass by Undav, and the third was a volley that slipped through the fingers of Viking goalkeeper Arild Östbö. While the victory was decisive, reports noted that the Stuttgart defense appeared unstable at times. Center right framing emphasized that the defensive line looked worryingly unsorted, while center left framing described the defense as not always secure.
