- 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.

Marc Marquez won the San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano World Circuit, a victory that allows him to tie for the lead of the MotoGP world championship with 274 points. Marquez, riding for Ducati, secured the win following a race marked by the early crash of pole sitter Marco Bezzecchi, who lost the front end of his Aprilia in the first lap and was forced to retire without injury. Jorge Martin, who briefly took the lead on the seventh lap, ultimately finished fifth, losing his sole lead of the standings to Marquez.
The podium was completed by Alex Marquez in second place on a Gresini Ducati and Pedro Acosta in third on a KTM. Fermin Aldeguer finished fourth. Alex Marquez noted that his podium was a tribute to the late Marco Simoncelli. Marc Marquez expressed that while he is happy to be the leader rather than the pursuer, the fight for the title is not yet finished.
Reporting on the event, a center lean outlet described Marquez as a cannibal who completed a compelling comeback after a poor start to the season. Meanwhile, a center left lean outlet framed the performance as a recital and an exhibition of speed and cold blood, emphasizing that Marquez had previously seemed out of the battle for a record eighth title in May.
