- 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.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
The Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) has requested that ten weapons seized from former president Jair Bolsonaro be sent to the Army. According to the PGR, the Army's Special Operations Command should decide the final destination of the assets, which may include definitive destruction or donation to public security agencies, once technical forensics are complete.
The request follows a proposal from the Federal Police for Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes to define the fate of the arsenal. The PGR stated that the weapons are no longer useful for criminal prosecution. The collection includes various pistols, rifles, carbines, and shotguns. This action follows a July decision by Moraes to revoke Bolsonaro's firearm carry permit and collector registration, ordering the immediate seizure of all his weapons.
