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

Pope Leo, the first American pope, called for a renewed commitment to peace on Sunday while remembering the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Speaking from his window overlooking St. Peter's Square to a crowd of approximately 15,000 people, the Chicago born pontiff invited the world to pray for peace during a time of global conflict and violence. He specifically remembered the 2,977 people who lost their lives in the attacks 25 years ago.

During the commemoration, the Pope stated that the memory of the tragedy pushes the faithful to renew their commitment to peace through prayer. Vatican News also republished excerpts from a 2001 homily delivered by the Pope, then known as Robert Prevost, in which he described the violence as a tragic expression of acute problems including extreme poverty and injustice.

Both reports were published by center right outlets and framed the event similarly, focusing on the Pope's call for peace and his personal connection to the United States.
