- 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.
Lionel Messi has reached a preliminary agreement to become the majority shareholder of CD Eldense, a club in the Spanish second division. The deal involves the purchase of 100 percent of the shares currently held by the Colombian investment group TH Soluciones Group SAS. The transaction remains subject to due diligence, final legal procedures, and mandatory authorization from the Spanish National Sports Council (CSD).
