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.

Israeli settlers have established a presence in the West Bank village of Qusra. According to a center leaning source, several Palestinian families have been besieged since August 9, reporting that settlers have blocked access to homes and food while cutting off water and electricity. A left leaning source reports that approximately 15 settlers remain in a closed military zone near the village. This source further notes that the settlers maintain friendly relations with guarding Israeli soldiers, while an anti occupation activist was detained by the IDF for violating a similar closed zone order elsewhere in the West Bank.
