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.

Montevideo City Torque advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana after defeating Tigre 2-1 in the second leg of the round of 16. The result gave the Uruguayan side a 3-1 aggregate victory. Salomón Rodríguez scored both goals for City Torque, while Valentín Moreno scored for Tigre. The match was decided by a pivotal moment at the end of the first half when Tigre defender Nahuel Banegas was sent off with a red card for an elbow in the penalty area. The resulting penalty was converted by Rodríguez to give Torque the lead.
Tigre began the match with high pressure and had a goal by Joaquín Laso disallowed for offside. City Torque took the lead in the 39th minute following an assist from Franco Pizzichillo. Tigre responded quickly with a goal from Moreno, but the momentum shifted when the VAR review led to the expulsion of Banegas. In the second half, Tigre played with ten men and had another goal by Ignacio Russo disallowed for offside. City Torque becomes the first Uruguayan club other than Peñarol or Nacional to reach the quarterfinals of an international tournament.
Both reports, coming from center-right sources, characterize the loss as a result of Tigre's own mistakes. One source frames the defeat as a consequence of irresponsibility and an infantile attitude, while the other describes it as a form of auto sabotage.
