- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

Liam and Noel Gallagher traveled to Venice for the premiere of the documentary "Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger" on Saturday, but the brothers skipped the scheduled press conference. While they arrived at the Lido by boat and posed for photos, they departed before the media session began. Co director Will Lovelace addressed the absence by stating that the brothers had been present for photos, noting that they were indeed in town.
The documentary follows the behind the scenes process of the band's reunion and their 2025 world tour, which occurred after a 15 year conflict that led to the group's split in 2009. The film features the first joint interview between the brothers in over two decades. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace noted that filming the reunion was a delicate process that required the use of hidden cameras in rehearsal spaces to avoid appearing intrusive.
The film is written by Steven Knight and is scheduled for theatrical release in early September, followed by a debut on Disney+. While some reports highlight the brothers' unpredictable behavior in skipping the press event, others focus on the emotional impact of the reunion and the scale of the 2025 tour. The absence from the press conference also prevented the brothers from addressing rumors regarding a potential 2027 tour.
