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 jury in the triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy has reached a standstill and was sent home Tuesday afternoon. Judge William Sullivan implored the jurors to work through their disagreements to break the impasse before they resume deliberations on Wednesday. The jury consists of nine women and three men who have spent approximately 23 hours deliberating over the course of four days. The deadlock occurred as the jury weighed whether Clancy is criminally responsible for the January 2023 deaths of her three children: Cora, aged 5, Dawson, aged 3, and Callan, aged 8 months. The defense argues that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings, while prosecutors contend she acted intentionally, rationally, and swiftly. Center left sources highlighted the emotional atmosphere surrounding the courthouse, noting the presence of supporters wearing pink to raise awareness for postpartum mental health and the audible gasps from the gallery when the deadlock was announced. A jury consultant noted on a center left broadcast that there appears to be a real disparity among the jurors.
