- 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.

President Donald Trump announced the removal of a 10 percent tariff on Irish whiskey during the conclusion of his visit to Ireland. Speaking before a crowd of golf fans at a family owned golf course, Trump stated that he was lifting the tariff because people had been bugging him and annoying him about the issue. He specifically noted that Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin and golfer Shane Lowry had raised the matter with him.
The tariff was previously part of a broader set of duties on wine and spirits exported from the European Union to the United States. The Irish Whiskey Association welcomed the decision, stating that the product symbolizes the trade relationship between the United States and Ireland.
During the same trip, Trump expressed support for the reunification of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, though the British government rejected those comments. He also dismissed calls to slow the development of artificial intelligence, attributing such concerns to negative forces.
