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.

Russia has criticized joint military maneuvers involving Japan, the United States, and Australia, specifically citing the deployment of the U.S. Typhon missile system as a threat to its national security. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakarova described the drills as a provocation and stated that the presence of such weaponry on Japanese territory is absolutely unacceptable. Moscow has warned that it may adopt compensatory countermeasures to ensure its security. The exercises, which are scheduled to begin on September 8 near Russia's eastern borders, will involve approximately 4,000 personnel. According to reports, the maneuvers will include live fire exercises, simulations of land invasions, and the aerial transport of military equipment. This marks the third time Typhon systems have been utilized in these joint drills.
