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.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

A German lobby group has warned that gas reserves are at historically low levels, creating a risk of shortages during the winter. According to the group, reserves could run out if the winter is particularly cold. The report indicates that profit margins have been significantly lowered by wars in Russia and Iran, which has reduced the economic incentive to fill these reserves.
