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 Brazil.

Pedro Uczai, the leader of the Workers Party (PT) in the Chamber of Deputies, was hospitalized after suffering a stroke during a meeting of the College of Leaders on Tuesday. According to a party statement, the federal deputy felt unwell and fainted during the session. He received initial care at the Chamber's Medical Department before being transferred to Hospital DF Star in Brasília for further exams. Reports indicate that Uczai is conscious, oriented, and showing no motor or cognitive deficits. Following the incident, Chamber President Hugo Motta postponed scheduled votes to Wednesday. While center and center left sources specifically identify the event as a stroke, a center right source notes that some reports mentioned a seizure, though the PT did not confirm that detail.
