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.

Turkish President Erdogan has signed a law that provides a conditional pardon for thousands of PKK militants. The legislation allows combatants who have not committed blood crimes to return and be reintegrated. Erdogan described the move as an important step for a peaceful, prosperous, and secure future for Turkey. While a center leaning source reported the event as the signing of a law offering conditional pardons, a center left leaning source framed the event as a key step toward the resolution of the Kurdish conflict.
