- 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.

Santos defeated Vasco 3 to 0 at the São Januário stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. Goals from Gabigol, Willian Arão, and Luan Peres allowed Santos to move out of the relegation zone with 25 points, while Vasco remains in the bottom four with 22 points. The match was marked by tension, including a pre game refusal by Vasco captain Thiago Mendes to shake hands with Neymar due to a long standing rivalry from their time in French football. Vasco fans further provoked Neymar by wearing masks of the player crying and of his former partner, Bruna Marquezine. In other league action, Cruzeiro defeated Corinthians 2 to 1 and Flamengo beat Mirassol 5 to 1. Parallel to the sporting event, presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro used the day to launch his campaign. He held a rally in Copacabana where he criticized the economy under the Lula government and defended his running mate, Alfredo Gaspar, against accusations of rape. While at the stadium, Flávio Bolsonaro met with Neymar, who signed the candidate's Brazilian national team shirt. The candidate is scheduled to travel to Minas Gerais on Monday for further campaign activities.
