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.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has told supporters they do not have to worry about his future with the club, stating that he wishes to extend his contract. Arteta, who led the Premier League champions to their first title in 22 years this past May, is currently in the final 12 months of his agreement. He expressed that he is extremely happy and grateful to work with the people at the club, adding that the timing of the renewal is not an issue.
Arteta suggested that the club's transfer activity has taken priority over formal contract negotiations. Arsenal has strengthened its squad by signing midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United, winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, and goalkeeper Illan Meslier on a free transfer. Additionally, the club made Piero Hincapie's loan move from Bayer Leverkusen permanent. The squad has also seen the departures of Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, and Christian Norgaard.
These assurances come ahead of the 2026-27 campaign opener, where Arsenal is set to face Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday. Arteta maintained that the club is acting in an organic way and that he remains confident in the ambition of the organization to compete in every competition.
