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 chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Sohlberg, has called for clarification regarding requests for security protection for party leaders. Sohlberg asked the National Security Council to establish clear criteria and determine which entity is responsible for assessing inquiries from party leaders who are not members of the Knesset. While a center leaning source frames the request as a general seek for clarification on security procedures, a left leaning source frames the move as a response to the specific denial of Shin Bet security for opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot earlier in the week.
