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.

Olympic water polo champion Maica García has joined CN Sant Andreu after her long term relationship with CN Sabadell ended in a legal dispute over her contract and motherhood. García, who joined Sabadell at age four and is one of the most decorated players in the club's history, claims she was fired for being a mother. She argues that under Article 6 bis of Royal Decree 1006/1985, introduced by Organic Law 2/2024, her contract should have been extended until 2027 because she became pregnant during her final contract year. García stated during her presentation at CN Sant Andreu that the situation caused her to suffer strong anxiety attacks.
