- 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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
The US Federal Communications Commission has asked a court to reject a lawsuit filed by Disney over ABC TV station licenses. The lawsuit accuses the regulator of conducting an unconstitutional retaliatory campaign against the network. According to the filing, this campaign was intended as punishment for programming that was criticized by the Trump administration.
