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.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Both houses of the Indian parliament were adjourned sine die on Thursday, marking the end of a turbulent 19 day monsoon session. The proceedings were characterized by a political stalemate between Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and the opposition. According to Bloomberg, the lower house, the Lok Sabha, functioned for only 15 percent of its scheduled time, while the upper house, the Rajya Sabha, functioned for 33 percent. The session concluded with demonstrations from both ruling coalition and opposition lawmakers.

Opposition lawmakers demanded the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah following police action against widespread student protests. Center leaning reports frame this event differently: one describes the session as being overshadowed by protests and a general political stalemate, while others frame the student protests as one of the biggest political challenges for Narendra Modi since his party lost its outright majority in the 2024 election.
