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.
A humanoid robot crashed during a speed test at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, China.

The robot collided with a safety cushion and fell backward, resulting in sparks emitting from its waist area. While a center right source described the event as a malfunction where the robot exploded, a center left source framed the crash within the broader context of the growth of China's robotics industry.
