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.

Racing Club and Boca Juniors played to a 1-1 draw on Sunday in a classic matchup held at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. Racing opened the scoring in the 9th minute when Marcos Rojo converted a penalty, which was awarded after a VAR review of a foul by Ayrton Costa on Ezequiel Cannavo. Miguel Merentiel later equalized for Boca Juniors before the end of the first half. The match was officiated by Nicolás Ramírez.
The result left both teams struggling in their respective standings. Racing, managed by Juan Pablo Vojvoda, remains 12th in Zone B with five points and has not won a match since the opening day of the tournament. Boca Juniors, led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena, sits 10th in Zone A with seven points. Both clubs currently remain outside the playoff qualification positions.
Injuries played a role in the match as Boca lost midfielder Delgado to a hamstring injury, while Racing's Ignacio Rodríguez was forced to leave the field following a foul by Belmonte. Boca also saw the debut of 36 year old Ecuadorian Enner Valencia. Looking ahead, Boca faces a busy schedule including a Copa Argentina match against Vélez Sarsfield and a Copa Sudamericana series against San Pablo.
Center-right sources framed the result as a missed opportunity for both clubs, emphasizing that at this stage of the tournament, a draw is equivalent to losing points. These reports highlighted the pressure on both managers and the internal instability at Racing, noting that the result failed to help either team climb toward the top positions.
