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.

Germany's federal prosecutor has charged seven suspected Hamas members in connection with a plot to carry out attacks. According to reports, the suspects were involved in procuring weapons for planned attacks targeting Israeli and Jewish targets in Germany and Austria. One report specifies that Hamas had been planning a specific assassination attack against pro Israel individuals, Jews, or Israeli representatives since at least July 2025. While a center leaning source focuses on the general charges against the suspected members, a left leaning source emphasizes that the plot specifically targeted Jews and was intended for the anniversary of October 7.
