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.

Raphaël Glucksmann, co-president of Place publique, officialized his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election on Sunday, August 23. Glucksmann announced his bid during the TF1 evening news and intends to run through a primary with the Socialist Party. On the same day, Jean-Luc Mélenchon addressed approximately 10,000 supporters at the La France insoumise summer university in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, where he declared that victory is possible. Mélenchon focused his speech on ecological planning and climate change while framing the election as a duel against the central bloc. Meanwhile, Marine Tondelier of Les Ecologistes held a summer university in Grenoble. Former president François Hollande is also expected to enter the political fray with the release of a book on September 3. Center-left framing emphasizes a growing battle and fragmentation among various left-wing factions, whereas center framing focuses specifically on the procedural details of Glucksmann's candidacy.
