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 series 'Emergência 53' has premiered on Globoplay with all ten episodes of its first season now available. Produced by Conspiração, the show departs from traditional hospital drama by moving the action from corridors to the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The production was written by Márcio Maranhão, Cláudio Torres, and Andrucha Waddington, with direction shared between the latter two along with Pedro Waddington and Rebeca Diniz.
The plot centers on a dysfunctional emergency unit led by Irene, an experienced doctor played by Yara de Novaes. She is joined by Manu, a wealthy novice played by Valentina Herzage. The supporting cast includes Emílio Dantas as a bipolar doctor named Pedro, Heloísa Jorge as a doctor named Glória, and William Nascimento as a military nurse named Átila. Other roles are filled by Raquel Villar, Jaffar Bambirra, and Ana Hikari.
The series explores themes of domestic violence, organized crime, corruption, and national trauma. It features special appearances by actors such as Fernanda Montenegro, Júlia Lemmertz, Stepan Nercessian, Antônio Grassi, and Evandro Mesquita. Reviewers describe the work as an intense drama that avoids sentimentalism and soap opera tropes while utilizing a strong cast to portray nuanced characters.
