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 source for this story reports from Brazil.

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

Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro to receive dental treatment on Monday, July 17. The authorization comes with strict conditions: the appointment date and time must remain absolutely secret, and any leak of this information may result in the immediate cancellation of the procedure. While the defense requested that Bolsonaro be treated at a clinic in Lago Sul by Fernanda Bolsonaro, the wife of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, Moraes rejected this request. Instead, he determined that the procedure should take place at the Military Police Medical Center (PMDF) under escort for security reasons. The specific timing of the visit is to be coordinated between the defense and the Subdirector of the Custody Nucleus. Bolsonaro is currently serving a sentence of 27 years and 3 months in humanitarian house arrest. He faces several restrictions, including a ban on social media and limitations on visits. Both reports note that the decision regarding the location was based on security concerns cited by the Military Police.
