  • 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.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Real Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-1 in a La Liga match on Saturday. Kylian Mbappe scored two goals to lead the victory, which puts Real Madrid level with Barcelona at the top of the league standings. Additional goals for Madrid were scored by Jude Bellingham and Alvaro Carreras, while Sergio Camello scored the lone goal for Rayo Vallecano in the 51st minute.
