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.

President Donald Trump has urged Congress to implement federal tax incentives for the movie and television industry to encourage production to return to the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called for a Federal Production Incentive to create entertainment jobs, stating that the industry has largely relocated to Canada and other countries. He argued that the current state of Hollywood is a disaster that harms California because there are few incentives for production to remain in the US.
Trump made the announcement following a meeting with actor and screenwriter Jon Voight. He suggested that such credits would help the sector regain its former grandeur and potentially become more prosperous than ever. According to reports, the industry is currently facing challenges from streaming services, artificial intelligence, and offshoring.
Outlets with a center lean focused on the policy proposal and the goal of job creation. A center left outlet framed the move as an attempt to subsidize Hollywood and rescue a struggling industry.
