- 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 Venue Fort Lauderdale canceled a scheduled rally featuring Democratic U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib. Tlaib, the first Palestinian American member of Congress, was set to appear on Friday to support three candidates in the upcoming Florida Democratic Party primary. The cancellation occurred after State Representative Michael Gottlieb, chairman of the Florida Legislative Jewish Caucus, issued a statement describing the planned event as an anti Jew gathering. The Venue, which is Jewish owned, cited increased security concerns and a commitment to the Jewish community as the reasons for its decision. Tlaib has stated that her criticism of Israel's attacks in Gaza and Lebanon and its occupation of Palestinian territories is not antisemitic. The Florida Democratic Progressive Caucus characterized the cancellation as being rooted in anti Muslim sentiment.
