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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

The Rassemblement national announced the immediate exclusion of a municipal police officer from Carcassonne following the broadcast of a video containing racist, misogynist, and conspiracy theorist remarks. The footage was captured by the officer's own body camera during a patrol on November 6, 2025. The recordings include xenophobic insults, comments regarding slavery, and conspiracy theories concerning the spouse of President Emmanuel Macron. The Carcassonne prosecutor's office has entrusted the gendarmerie with an investigation into the content of the video.
