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 United States government has canceled the visa of Andy López Beltrán, the son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. In response, members of the ruling Morena party have closed ranks to support López Beltrán and defend Mexican national sovereignty. A group of Morena senators, including Enrique Inzunza Cázarez, issued a statement rejecting foreign intervention and pressure in Mexican internal affairs.
López Beltrán addressed the decision in a letter to President Donald Trump. He attributed the cancellation to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Under Secretary Christopher Landau, characterizing the move as a political decision. He questioned whether US authorities possessed evidence of criminal or immoral conduct and argued that security or counter terrorism justifications are being used for political pressure.
Reporting on the event differs by political lean. A center left source framed the visa withdrawal as a blow to the heart of the Morena party and noted that the move encourages corruption accusations from the PAN opposition. A center right source focused on the public reappearance of Senator Enrique Inzunza, who has had a limited physical presence in the Senate following US allegations regarding links to drug trafficking, which he denies.
