- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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 Republican National Committee began a midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday. This event is unusual as such conventions are typically held only during presidential election years; one report notes this is the first such gathering in 50 years. The U.S. President brought his cabinet to Dallas and invited Republicans to attend, though some members in swing states expressed perplexity. The event occurs as Republicans face concerns regarding the potential loss of control over Congress. A center left source characterized the event as something some are calling Trump a palooza, while a center right source framed the convention as a strategic effort to convince the public that Republicans are best equipped to handle American issues.
