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.

São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes confronted candidate Fernando Haddad following a TV Bandeirantes debate on Sunday to contest claims regarding a city Wi-Fi contract. During the debate, Haddad referenced an investigation into a contract between the city and the Instituto Conhecer Brasil, an NGO under scrutiny by the Civil Police and the Public Ministry for suspected irregularities in the installation of free internet points. Nunes stated that Haddad distorted the investigation and should be more respectful and responsible with his statements. A center-left source specified that Haddad accused the city hall of signing the contract so that funds could be diverted to the PCC and to a movie about former president Jair Bolsonaro. Nunes also disputed Haddad's claims regarding the city's financial health, arguing that the current fiscal indicators are strong and that previous debt reductions were due to legislative changes rather than Haddad's former administration. Additionally, Nunes praised Governor Tarcísio de Freitas for his performance during the debate.
