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.

A seven year old boy named Leonel Santino Ortiz died after being shot during a violent attack in the Junín neighborhood of Las Heras, Mendoza. The incident occurred on Monday night when a group of people allegedly entered a home and fired multiple shots. The child was transported by a private vehicle to Hospital Carrillo, where he later died from a hypovolemic shock caused by significant blood loss. Authorities report that the suspects fled the scene in a red car.
Investigations by the Las Heras Fiscal Office are ongoing to determine the exact mechanics of the attack. While some reports suggest the shooting may have been linked to a narcotics conflict, other details provided by the victim's sister, Valeria, indicate a prior dispute. She stated that an attempt was made to set fire to their home earlier that Monday morning and claimed the attackers believed a brother of hers was involved in a robbery.
Police have preserved the crime scene for the Scientific Police to gather evidence. Investigators are now conducting interviews with residents and reviewing security camera footage from neighboring homes to identify the perpetrators.
