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 Mexican navy rescued two fishermen on Wednesday after they spent five days adrift in the Pacific Ocean. The men, aged 32 and 53, were found floating in a large fishing cooler approximately 150 miles off the coast of Chiapas. Search and rescue operations began on August 14 after a fishing cooperative reported that contact had been lost with the pair. The navy utilized both sea and air assets to locate the men. Once found, the fishermen were airlifted to port where they received medical attention before being reunited with their families. The survivors stated that they had no food or water during their five days at sea. It remains unclear how their original vessel became disabled.
