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.

FC Augsburg secured a 3:0 home victory over newly promoted Schalke 04 on the first matchday of the Bundesliga season. Michael Gregoritsch scored in the 18th minute, followed by a goal from Anton Kade in the 79th minute and a late addition by Rodrigo Ribeiro in stoppage time. Schalke 04 faced further difficulty after Ron Schallenberg received a red card in the 63rd minute for a professional foul against Gregoritsch. The match was attended by the new national team coach, Jürgen Klopp, who was visiting the WWK Arena ahead of a Nations League match against Greece on September 27.
Reporting on the event differed in tone based on political lean. The center left source framed the result as a failure for Schalke 04 but emphasized the positive aspect of the club returning to the league. In contrast, the center right source focused on the technical dominance of Augsburg and the poor performance of Schalke, describing the return as bitter and noting that the promoted side had little to offer.
