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.

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad in La Liga. The match marked the first home game at the Santiago Bernabeu for head coach Jose Mourinho since his return to the club. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 40th minute following a pass from Federico Valverde, but Luka Sucic equalized for Real Sociedad shortly before halftime. In the second half, Mbappe restored the lead on the hour, followed by a goal from Vinicius Junior in the 68th minute. Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute with a chip over goalkeeper Alex Remiro. Jude Bellingham contributed two assists during the match. Real Madrid has now won two consecutive games to start the season. Reports on the atmosphere varied: center-left sources noted that home fans jeered the players during a sluggish first half, while a center-right source described the start as lukewarm but focused more on the eventual rout. Mourinho stated after the match that the demanding nature of the Bernabeu fans helps players grow.
