- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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 Trump administration is set to spend at least $900 million on the construction and renovation of the White House, according to reports from The Washington Post. Rather than securing these funds through Congressional appropriations, the administration has gathered money from private donors and various federal agencies. These funds are being directed into an account that typically holds only a few million dollars for maintenance. Confidential contracts and plans indicate that the money will be used for modernization projects. The White House has not responded to inquiries regarding these plans, and Reuters has not independently confirmed the information through its own sources. The project does not mention a large ballroom.
