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.

Two Chilean men, aged 23 and 33, were arrested in Osaka on Thursday for the alleged theft of four luxury watches from a shop in Tokyo. The incident occurred on Tuesday in the Nakano Ward, specifically at a store called Time Walker located in the Nakano Broadway building. The stolen items include three Richard Mille timepieces and one Patek Philippe watch, with a combined value of approximately 200 million yen, or between 1.25 million and 1.3 million dollars. According to reports, the suspects used a hammer to break a display case and fled the scene. One of the men was reportedly found with a watch of the same brand as one of the stolen items at the time of his arrest.
