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.

Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes said on Tuesday that it will be difficult for him to continue playing for the national team. His uncertainty follows a 10 match suspension received in August for his role in a brawl after Argentina lost the World Cup final to Spain. During the incident, Paredes shoved Spanish midfielder Gavi to the ground. This action led to a fine of approximately $90,000, or over 800,000 kroner, and three assault charges.

Paredes cited both the suspension and the decision by Lionel Messi to retire from international duty as reasons for his hesitation. He noted that while he and Messi had discussed the possibility of the final being Messi's last match, he was still not prepared for the departure. Paredes stated that he has not yet discussed his future with coach Lionel Scaloni but intends to do so soon.

Argentina is scheduled to play two friendlies in September, and the team will defend its Copa America title in 2028.
