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.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States and located on the border of Arizona and Nevada, has reached a record low water level. The decline is occurring amid a megadrought that has significant implications for the region. The dwindling supply has led to conflicts between states over the remaining water.
