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.

Israelis will head to the polls in October for the first election since the war on Gaza began. A poll indicates no clear path to a governing majority, with Netanyahu's coalition projected to win 50 seats and Jewish opposition parties projected to win 60, which is one short of the 61 needed for a majority. The poll further shows that Shas dropped to seven seats, while Kahol Lavan and Balad failed to cross the threshold. A center left source frames the upcoming vote as a question of whether Netanyahu can survive the most consequential election in the country's history. A left source focuses on the specific polling data and the lack of a clear governing majority.
