- 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.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
Flávio Bolsonaro, the PL candidate for President, canceled his scheduled campaign events in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, on Monday, October 17. The candidate stated in a social media video that bad weather prevented his flight from taking off and landing in the city. Airport officials confirmed that no planes had landed since 6 a.m. due to cloudy skies and fog.
The canceled agenda included a motorcycle rally and a rally at the site where his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, was stabbed during the 2018 campaign. A group of supporters and pre candidates had already gathered at the Francisco Álvares de Assis Airport when they were notified of the cancellation by PL city councilwoman Roberta Lopes.
Despite the cancellation in Juiz de Fora, Flávio Bolsonaro maintained his evening schedule in Belo Horizonte to launch the candidacy of Flávio Roscoe for Governor of Minas Gerais. This follows the start of his campaign on Sunday, October 16, with an event at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Reporting on the campaign's strategy differs by political lean. A center leaning source noted that Flávio is intentionally repeating his father's campaign hallmarks. A center right leaning source provided more detail on the Copacabana event, describing it as having religious appeals and US flags, while noting that the crowd was smaller than those at events held by his father.

- Centre
