Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one 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.
Ownership is disclosed, never rated.
Donald Trump stated that the United States has not reached an agreement regarding the production of Patriot missiles in Ukraine. This statement serves as a reversal of a previous claim he had made. While the core fact of the denial is consistent across reports, the framing varies. A center lean outlet describes the event as Trump saying the US has not agreed to the production. Another center lean outlet frames the event as Trump walking back a promise of Patriot licenses. A center left outlet describes the situation as Trump stating an agreement was not yet reached and walking back a statement.
