Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one 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.

Ownership is disclosed, never rated.

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

The Malaysian Prime Minister has stated that Myanmar agreed to take back 5,000 Rohingya refugees from Malaysia. This development follows recent tensions between the refugee population and local communities in Malaysia.
