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.
Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça has ordered the Federal Police to investigate the origin of leaks involving confidential data from an inquiry into Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha and the son of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The decision follows a request from Lulinha's defense after reports were published containing private messages between Lulinha and lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger. The investigation is part of a broader probe into suspected influence peddling and fraud related to the National Social Security Institute (INSS).
