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.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Friday that MK Tally Gotliv will take the second place on the Otzma Yehudit list for the upcoming Knesset elections. Gotliv was initially placed third, but she moved up after Yitzhak Wasserlauf volunteered to drop one position. Because the minimum number of seats a party receives after passing the 3.25 percent electoral threshold is four, placing in the top four is considered a technicality. Gotliv has not yet officially resigned from the Knesset or the Likud party, which allows her to maintain political immunity until the elections.
During the announcement, Ben-Gvir praised Gotliv for her boldness and for speaking her truth without fear. He claimed that others wanted to silence her and specifically mentioned Gali Baharv-Miara. Gotliv stated that she joined the party to preserve the right-wing bloc and ensure the election of a right-wing government. When asked about potentially adding MK May Golan to the list, Ben-Gvir told the press to wait patiently.
The reporting on the event differs in framing based on political lean. A center-right source focused on the internal party dynamics and Gotliv's desire to maintain a right-wing government. A left-leaning source characterized Gotliv as a firebrand and highlighted Ben-Gvir's praise for her fight against the attorney general and the deep state.
