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.

Every source for this story reports from France.

The United States observed the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on Friday, honoring the 2,977 victims killed in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon. President Donald Trump attended a ceremony at the Pentagon in Arlington, where he stated that the country would never forget the victims and continues to fight in their honor. Vice President JD Vance attended the commemorations at the September 11 Memorial and Museum on Manhattan's Ground Zero alongside the four living former U.S. presidents. In New York, families of the victims read the names of the deceased, and a special moment of silence was held for those who died from cancers and other illnesses caused by toxic dust clouds. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the first mayor to take the oath of office on a Quran, was present at the Ground Zero events. Three days prior to the anniversary, Mayor Mamdani released over 170,000 pages of documents suggesting city authorities knew about the health risks of the air quality at Ground Zero shortly after the attacks but did not inform the public. Other discussions surrounding the anniversary focused on the duty to transmit the memory of the attacks to a younger generation of Americans who did not experience the events.
