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.

An Iraqi military commander was dismissed early Saturday after investigations confirmed that recent drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia originated from Iraq. According to a statement from the prime minister's office, the dismissed officer led operations in Maysan province in southern Iraq.
