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.

Saudi Arabia has launched several strikes in Yemen following a large scale attack on its own territory. This escalation occurs as Yemen plunges back into war. Regarding the duration of the conflict, Saudi political analyst Khaled Batarfi stated that the war with the Houthis will not be prolonged.
