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.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) demanded that the Senate analyze impeachment requests against Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes during a visit to São Carlos, São Paulo. Bolsonaro criticized Senate President Davi Alcolumbre for failing to move forward with the requests, claiming that Alcolumbre is prioritizing a personal friendship over the institution. The senator asserted that Moraes is unfit to remain on the court, citing information from an investigation involving Banco Master. Bolsonaro further alleged that Alcolumbre acted out of self protection and suggested that a meeting between the Senate President and Moraes led to illegal actions against his own campaign. While the center left source focuses on the demand for impeachment and the criticism of Alcolumbre, the center right source provides detailed quotes regarding the senator's accusations of institutional failure and personal bias.
