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.

Six Jewish Israelis were arrested after they were filmed spitting and allegedly throwing rocks at the Saint James Monastery in Jerusalem's Old City. Israel Police announced on Sunday that five of the suspects were minors and one was an adult. According to a Jerusalemite Armenian reporter, the suspects also threw rocks at the window of a woman filming the event while shouting insults. The Armenian Patriarchate has filed a formal complaint regarding the incident. Three suspects were released under restrictive conditions that bar them from the Old City for 15 days, while the other three were brought to the Magistrate Court for a detention extension request. A center left source framed the event as an attack, while a center right source framed it as an allegation involving suspects.
