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.

South Korea's Army Chief of Staff Gen. Kim Gyu-ha met with Gen. Christopher LaNeve, the acting chief of staff of the U.S. Army, in Seoul on Tuesday. The two officials discussed expanding bilateral cooperation and strengthening the combined defense posture of the two nations. Both leaders noted that the South Korea-U.S. alliance has contributed to stability in the region and peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The discussion focused on enhancing interoperability during joint drills and expanding exchanges within the logistics and sustainment sectors. Gen. Kim expressed a desire to increase intelligence sharing regarding advanced military technologies, specifically artificial intelligence and manned-unmanned teaming systems, by leveraging the innovative experience of the U.S. Army. Gen. Kim also vowed to solidify the alliance through continued cooperation, including a scheduled South Korea-U.S. Army meeting in November.
