- 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 owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
President Donald Trump stated in a recent interview with FOX5 Las Vegas that negotiations with Tehran are working out quite well. The conflict, which began on February 28 with attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, has entered its sixth month. Trump indicated that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy route blocked by Iran since the start of the war, is imminent. He emphasized a preference for negotiation over the total obliteration of the adversary.
