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.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has won a court bid to halt bankruptcy proceedings regarding 1.69 billion ringgit in alleged unpaid tax arrears. The Court of Appeal ruled that the High Court erred in its previous refusal to grant a stay application. The legal reprieve extends to Najib and his son.
