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.

A man carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium at 9:11 p.m. on Friday during a game commemorating the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The individual entered from the left field seats and ran toward center field before being tackled and detained by security personnel. As he was removed from the stadium, spectators booed, chanted USA, and threw beer cans in his direction. The incident occurred during the top of the seventh inning of a game between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. The Yankees declined to comment on the event. The game included several tributes to the victims of the 2001 attacks, including a ceremonial first pitch thrown by a couple who met at a summer camp for children who lost a parent in the attacks. A center right source provided additional context by linking the event to the ongoing Gaza conflict and historical Palestinian reactions to the original 9/11 attacks.
