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.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro recorded wind gusts of up to 60.1 km/h on Sunday morning, with the highest speeds measured at the Forte de Copacabana between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Other significant readings included 51.8 km/h in Vidigal, 48.1 km/h at Jacarepaguá Airport, 43.6 km/h at Vila Militar, and 43.2 km/h at Marambaia. Forecasts indicate that gusts could reach between 70 km/h and 75.9 km/h throughout the day. These conditions are attributed to a new cold front moving through the region, which is expected to bring partially cloudy skies and a possibility of isolated light rain by the afternoon. Temperatures in the capital are expected to range between 20°C and 35°C on Sunday, though forecasts for the coming week suggest a cooling trend with maximums dropping to around 24°C by Wednesday. The broader weather system is also affecting the Center South of Brazil, bringing storms to parts of Sao Paulo and the south, where previous instability caused significant damage to homes in Rio Grande do Sul.
