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 Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Denver Broncos 31-10 on Monday night, marking the return of Patrick Mahomes nine months after he tore the ACL in his left knee. Mahomes wore a protective brace and recorded 184 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown. Kenneth Walker III, making his Chiefs debut after signing a three year, 43.1 million dollar deal, rushed for 173 yards and scored two touchdowns. Walker's performance included a 60 yard touchdown run to start the third quarter.
The Broncos struggled offensively under coordinator Davis Webb. Quarterback Bo Nix threw for 131 yards with one touchdown, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Broncos' offense totaled 176 yards according to one report, while another source stated they managed only 61 rushing yards. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, acquired via trade from Miami, recorded one catch for two yards.
Additional milestones occurred during the game. Travis Kelce surpassed Jason Witten to become the second player with the most receiving yards in NFL history. Coach Andy Reid earned his 18th opening game victory, tying the record held by Bill Belichick. The center left source framed the victory as a triumph over a misfiring Broncos team, while the center right source emphasized the sweetness of Mahomes' return and the impact of his new partner in Walker.
