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.

Pop superstar Lady Gaga and her fiancé, businessman Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child. The news was first reported by US media outlets including Page Six and People. While the singer was recently photographed in Northern California carrying a baby in a sling, official representatives for the 40 year old artist have not yet issued a statement. Details regarding the baby's name, sex, and exact date of birth remain undisclosed.

Lady Gaga and Polansky have been in a relationship since 2020 and became engaged in 2024. The couple has maintained a private personal life in recent months, particularly following the conclusion of the Mayhem Ball world tour in April 2026. Polansky, who serves as the CEO of The Parker Group and director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, has also collaborated professionally with Gaga as a co executive producer on her album Harlequin and the Mayhem tour.

In the year leading up to the birth, Gaga spoke openly about her desire for motherhood in interviews with Access Hollywood, Elle, and The New York Times. She described becoming a mother as her next major role and a significant personal goal. The news has sparked widespread celebration among her global fanbase, including a notable surge of congratulatory messages from supporters in Mexico.
