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 Brazil.

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

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senate President Davi Alcolumbre are expected to meet this Wednesday at the Palácio da Alvorada. The meeting, initiated by Lula, will include government leaders and the minister of institutional relations, José Guimarães. The primary goal of the encounter is to discuss government priorities in Congress and align the Senate voting agenda. Key priorities for the Planalto include the Public Security PEC, proposals on critical minerals, and the end of the 6x1 work shift. Alcolumbre has signaled to allies a desire to move past previous frictions with Lula. While he has not committed to scheduling the vote on the 6x1 shift before the election, he has indicated it could happen starting in November. Reports suggest a potential key to this reconciliation involves the possible appointment of Senator Rodrigo Pacheco to a vacancy in the Court of Audit of the Union, should Minister Bruno Dantas retire early.
