- 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.
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate for the Liberal Party (PL), announced on Wednesday that Federal Deputy Alfredo Gaspar will be his running mate for the upcoming election. Gaspar is a former prosecutor general and former secretary of public security for the state of Alagoas. He gained national prominence as the rapporteur of the Joint Parliamentary Inquiry Committee (CPMI) that investigated frauds related to the National Social Security Institute (INSS).
How each side framed it
- Centre-left
- These outlets emphasized Gaspar's role in the INSS CPMI and the fact that the ticket is "pure blood" because the PL failed to form alliances with center-right parties.
- Centre
- These reports focused on the strategic implications of the choice, noting that Gaspar provides a link to the Northeast and that the all-male ticket suggests a failure to secure a coalition with other parties.
- Centre-right
- These reports highlighted Gaspar's courage and history of fighting organized crime, framing the choice as a way to bring security and health to the Northeast.
