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.

SV Elversberg has won its first two Bundesliga matches, becoming the only club in the league with a 100 percent win rate. The newly promoted team, which represents the smallest league location in history, most recently defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 4 to 3 after trailing 1 to 3. This follows an initial victory against Leverkusen, where they won 3 to 2. In total, the club has scored seven goals in its first two games, a record for a newcomer.
During the match against Mönchengladbach, Hugo Bolin scored twice and Joe Scally added a goal to put Gladbach ahead 3 to 1. Elversberg responded with goals from Maurice Krattenmacher, who scored twice, and Felix Keidel, who equalized with a free kick in the 80th minute. The victory was marked by a dramatic scene involving coach Vincent Wagner, who received a yellow-red card for entering the field to protest a referee decision.
Sporting director Christian Weber attributed the success to the courage and offensive mindset of the squad, which he described as the Elversberg DNA. Both reports highlight the club's status as a small town of 13,000 residents that lacks its own train station.
