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.

Every source for this story reports from Japan.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Shohei Ohtani returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup on Monday in a 6 to 3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Ohtani had sat out the previous four games due to discomfort in his neck, left knee, and right biceps. Serving as the designated hitter, he went hitless, recording two strikeouts and a fly out to left field, though he did draw one walk. Manager Dave Roberts stated that the two way star is unlikely to pitch again this season.
