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.

A remote controlled car crashed into a police van during a demonstration in Pakistan. The vehicle had been modified by an innovator to be driven from a distance. A local journalist was on board as a passenger to demonstrate the capabilities of the car. During the event, the vehicle steered suddenly and lost control. The journalist attempted to use the handbrake to stop the car, but the effort failed to prevent the collision with the police vehicle. While the center leaning source described the vehicle as driverless, the center right source characterized it as a remote controlled car.
