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.

The German women's basketball team defeated Mali 83 to 58 in Berlin to secure second place in Group A and advance to the intermediate round of the home World Cup. The victory follows an initial loss to Spain and a win against Japan. Germany will face South Korea in its first knockout game on Tuesday. If they win that match, they will face Belgium in the quarterfinals.

During the game, Leonie Bühner led the scoring with 21 points. Other contributors included Luisa Geiselsöder, who delivered her best performance of the tournament, as well as Alexandra Wilke and Gülich. The game was attended by World Cup captain Dennis Schröder, who praised the team's improvement and the atmosphere in the sold out arena.

Reporting on the victory differed slightly in tone. The center left source framed the result as the team getting into better form. The center right source framed the victory as superior and sovereign, emphasizing that the team earned the best possible starting position for the final round.
