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.

A protest by residents of local communities delayed the campaign launch for São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas by approximately one hour on Sunday. The event, held at the Metalclube in Osasco, also served as the launch for Rogério Lins, a former mayor of the city running for state deputy. Organizers closed the main gates for security reasons, forcing some attendees to use emergency exits. While center left sources describe the protest as peaceful, center sources report that the group set off firecrackers or flares, which prompted the security measures. The event eventually began with some empty seats in the audience.
Manifestants displayed banners with messages such as "Out Tarcísio" and accused Rogério Lins of betraying the community by allying with the governor. Protesters cited concerns over violence and homicides in São Paulo as primary motivations for the demonstration. Osasco is considered a strategic electoral college for the governor, as Fernando Haddad won the city by about 3,000 votes in 2022. Rogério Lins, who supported Tarcísio in that election, previously served as the Secretary of Sports in Mayor Ricardo Nunes' administration.
