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.

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

A man and 12 co-defendants are standing trial in Manchester, England, following accusations that the man drugged his wife and facilitated her sexual abuse by other men. The alleged abuse occurred over a period of more than two decades. The husband has pleaded guilty to 15 offenses but denies 33 other charges. The 12 co-defendants deny the charges against them.
