- 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.
The United States marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a ceremony in New York attended by former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, as well as JD Vance and other politicians. The event focused on remembering the victims and was characterized by silence and the participation of family members. Donald Trump was absent from the proceedings. While the anniversary was commemorated, some specialists have raised concerns regarding the current state of U.S. counterterrorism. Reports indicate that while Al-Qaeda and ISIS are more fragile and decentralized than in previous decades, they remain resilient with global ambitions and the capacity for online radicalization. Some experts, including Bruce Hoffman and Farah Pandith, argue that the U.S. faces an alarming lack of preparation for emerging and resurging threats. There are specific criticisms regarding the decision by the Trump administration to prioritize the fight against Latin American cartels over jihadism and to dismantle certain antiterrorist structures.
