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 Bayern failed to score for the first time in 59 competitive matches during a 0:0 draw against FC Schalke 04. As a result of the tie, FC Bayern has lost its position at the top of the league table for the first time in nearly two years, falling behind Borussia Dortmund by two points. The match concluded with FC Bayern players, including Manuel Neuer, Harry Kane, and Konrad Laimer, attempting to convince referee Robert Schröder to restart the game, though the official refused.
Schalke 04 utilized a radical defensive strategy to secure the result. Trainer Miron Muslic stated that the team intended to enjoy the act of defending and suffering. The match featured Robin Gosens making his first competitive appearance for Schalke and the presence of Edin Džeko. Manuel Neuer, who grew up at Schalke, was whistled by the crowd during every ball contact but noted that members of his family were satisfied with the result.
Reporting on the event differed based on political lean. A center left perspective framed the result as a loss of power for FC Bayern and questioned if the draw served as a signal to the rest of the league. In contrast, a center right perspective framed the match as a heroic struggle by Schalke 04 and described the club's return to the Bundesliga as an enrichment for the league.
