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.

German police have secured 12 explosive devices discovered near overhead power lines in two eastern districts. These discoveries follow a series of incidents targeting the electricity infrastructure of the country. Investigators are currently focusing on a 48 year old suspect. During a search of the suspect's apartment, police found explosives and two confession letters. The suspected attacks occurred in Brandenburg and NRW.
