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.

American artists Nelly and Ne-Yo performed at the Rock in Rio festival on Sunday, October 6. Nelly made his debut in Brazil with a performance on the Mundo stage. His set included hits such as Country Grammar, Hot in Here, Dilemma, and Just a Dream. He performed while wearing a stylized Brazil shirt featuring Michael Jordan's logo. The show took place during heavy rain and was described as starting slowly before gaining energy during his most famous hits. Ne-Yo performed on the Sunset stage. His presentation typically features a mix of hits, dancing, and fan interaction. His probable setlist included songs such as Closer, Because of You, and So Sick.
