- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

James Rodríguez is expected to travel with Atlético Nacional for their upcoming match against Internacional de Bogotá at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium. While reports indicate the Colombian midfielder is on the travel list, his actual participation in the game remains unconfirmed. The match is a rescheduled fixture for date 13 of the league. The final decision on whether he plays will depend on the official squad announcement and the determination of coach Lucas González.
Internacional de Bogotá has already coordinated security measures for the player and used his potential appearance to promote ticket sales. As a result, the match has officially sold out. Ticket prices for visiting fans ranged from 80,000 to 120,000 Colombian pesos, while local fans paid 60,000 Colombian pesos for certain sections. This match would mark Rodríguez's first game in 71 days, following his last appearance against Switzerland in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

In contrast, the center right source frames the event as a confirmed logistical and commercial success, emphasizing the sold out stadium and the security preparations.
