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.

The United States midterm elections are scheduled to begin on November 3. Current polling indicates that Donald Trump's popularity is at its lowest point and that Democrats hold an advantage in the race. Voters are prioritizing the economy, specifically citing high prices. While a center source attributes voter concerns to the trade war with Canada, a center left source frames the discontent as a result of high prices and the war against Iran.
