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.

Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa will compete for the UEFA Super Cup this Wednesday at the Stadion Salzburg in Austria. The match features the reigning Champions League winners, PSG, and the Europa League champions, Aston Villa. PSG enters the competition as a two time Champions League winner, having previously won the Super Cup in 2025 against Tottenham. This encounter marks a reunion between Spanish managers Luis Enrique and Unai Emery, who previously faced each other in the 2015 edition of the tournament.
Ahead of the match, PSG has made significant additions to its squad. The club signed 24 year old winger Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco and 33 year old left back Lucas Digne from Aston Villa. While the center left source frames these signings as a shift in Luis Enrique's strategy to complete the squad despite previous claims that he would not change the team, the center right source focuses on the broader European calendar and the return of players from the World Cup.
The match serves as the opening continental title of the 2026 27 season. Other major European events follow, including the start of the five major leagues. La Liga begins on August 15, followed by the Premier League and Ligue 1 on August 21, Serie A on August 22, and the Bundesliga on August 28.
