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 Brazil.

The Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo (TRE-SP) unanimously decided on Wednesday to maintain the ineligibility of businessman and influencer Pablo Marçal until 2032. The ruling confirms an eight year sanction starting from the 2024 elections, although Marçal may still appeal to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
