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 Germany.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Saxony Anhalt Minister President Sven Schulze is receiving support from CSU leader Markus Söder during the final phase of the state election campaign. Söder visited Wernigerode to support Schulze against the AfD, which he described as planning the worst economic shredder program. Simultaneously, Federal President Steinmeier has issued a statement advocating for migration to Germany and warning against ethnic ideology in light of a possible AfD takeover of power in the state.

How each side framed it
