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.

Every source for this story reports from Germany.

Germany's women's basketball team defeated Japan 74 to 58 in Berlin during the Women's Basketball World Cup. This victory follows a 53 to 83 loss to Spain in the opening game. Frieda Bühner led the German scoring with 19 points, followed by Nyara Sabally with 18, Marie Gülich with 11, and Emma Eichmeyer with 10. The game took place before 8,367 spectators in the Max-Schmeling-Halle.

Germany faced additional challenges before the match as player Alexis Peterson missed the game due to an infection. Despite this, the team led 28 to 11 after the first ten minutes. The victory puts Germany in a position to control their own fate regarding advancement to the knockout stage. Their final group game is scheduled for Monday against Mali.
