- 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 told reporters on Friday that the United States may hit Iran's Pickaxe Mountain very soon. Pickaxe Mountain is a heavily fortified site located near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility and contains two deeply buried tunnel complexes. Western intelligence suspects Iran is using the site to build a secret uranium enrichment facility. Some experts suggest the tunnels are so deep that they are beyond the reach of the most powerful bombs in the US arsenal.
