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.

Panamanian musician Rubén Blades performed a sold out concert at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires on Sunday, August 16. Accompanied by the Roberto Delgado Big Band, the 78 year old artist delivered a performance that spanned his career, including classics such as Pedro Navaja and Plastico. Blades noted that he first visited Argentina in 1983, marking this return as a significant milestone in his artistic journey. The event served as a presentation for his latest work, Fotografias, which earned a Latin Grammy for best tropical album.
A highlight of the evening was the presence of Argentine rock icon Charly García. Blades acknowledged García from the stage as a world rock legend, and the two artists shared a meeting in the dressing room. The performance featured a repertoire of approximately 20 songs, with Blades interacting frequently with the audience to share anecdotes and advice for young composers.
Both reports, coming from center right perspectives, emphasize the cultural significance of the event. One source frames the encounter between Blades and García as a symbolic union of two Latin American musical voices that transcend genres. The other source focuses more on the intellectual and political trajectory of Blades, detailing his education at Harvard and his former political career in Panama.
