- 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 announced at a Republican convention in Dallas, Texas, that he will provide a $5,000 dividend to every adult citizen in the United States if the Republican Party wins control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November 3 midterm elections. The president stated that the money, which he called the Trump Dividend, must be spent within the United States. He urged voters to cast their ballots as if his own name were on the ballot.
