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.

Olympique lyonnais qualified for the Champions League playoffs on Tuesday after defeating Sparta Prague 3-0. The victory overturned a 2-1 loss from the first leg. Goals were scored by Ernest Nuamah in the 20th minute, Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the 66th minute, and Tyler Morton in the 72nd minute. Sparta Prague played with ten men for a significant portion of the match following the 34th minute exclusion of defender Adam Sevinski.
Lyon will now face the Turkish club Fenerbahçe to secure a place in the competition. The first leg is scheduled for August 18 in Istanbul, with the return leg taking place on August 26 at home. Fenerbahçe advanced to this stage after eliminating Sturm Graz.

The center-left report highlighted Lyon's financial difficulties and surveillance by authorities, noting that qualification is a major economic stake.
