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.

Every source for this story reports from Italy.
Natàlia Potenza, the former partner of Valter Lavitola, has requested to be heard by Roman prosecutors regarding the attack on Sigfrido Ranucci. Potenza, an Italo Argentine woman who co managed the Cefalù establishment in Monteverde with Lavitola, may provide information concerning Lavitola's business affairs. Lavitola has been identified by prosecutors as the alleged mastermind behind the bombing targeting Ranucci, a journalist for the Rai program Report. Investigators are also examining suspicious gaps and deleted messages on Lavitola's seized mobile phones from the period surrounding the attack. Other individuals linked to the case have also spoken, including Gelsomina Tuorto, the wife of Lavitola's fugitive associate Gomes Tavares, and Benita Marotta, the partner of one of the arrested executors. While a center leaning source focuses on the legal proceedings and the potential testimony of Potenza, a center right leaning source frames the event as a complex saga involving a network of women and personal intrigues.
