- 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.

Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) held campaign events in Nova Iguaçu and Duque de Caxias on Friday, June 21. The senator's itinerary included a rally in the center of Nova Iguaçu and a motorcade in Duque de Caxias. During his appearance in Nova Iguaçu, Bolsonaro promised to maintain and improve the Bolsa Família social program and vowed to combat family indebtedness. He attributed the current state of indebtedness to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), stating that either the country defeats the PT or the PT defeats Brazil.
The campaign stops took place in a strategic region of Rio de Janeiro where the right wing maintains a strong presence. This effort comes as the current mayors of Nova Iguaçu and Duque de Caxias support Eduardo Paes, an opponent of the Bolsonaro group who leads polls for the state government. Bolsonaro is seeking to translate his family's influence into street mobilization outside of social media. Following these events, Bolsonaro is scheduled to participate in the official launch of Douglas Ruas's candidacy for governor at the Maracanãzinho on Saturday morning, accompanied by PL Senate candidates Carlos Jordy and Carlos Portinho.
