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.

Every source for this story reports from Japan.

A Japan Air Self-Defense Force F15 fighter jet made an emergency landing at Naha Airport on September 10. The incident occurred around 7:15 p.m. resulting in the temporary closure of one of the airport's two runways. The closure was lifted at approximately 8:25 p.m. The Naha Base of the Air Self-Defense Force stated that they are currently confirming the cause of the emergency and whether there were any injuries. This event follows a similar incident on August 18, when an F15 fighter jet became stranded and closed one runway for approximately four hours.
