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 on Friday with memorial ceremonies in New York City, Arlington, Virginia, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In New York, Vice President JD Vance and four former U.S. presidents, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, attended a ceremony at Ground Zero. The event featured the reading of the names of the 2,977 victims and the six people killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. For the first time, a seventh moment of silence was observed to honor the thousands of people who have died from illnesses linked to toxic dust at the World Trade Center site.

At the Pentagon, President Donald Trump led a commemoration alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. During his remarks, President Trump defended the war against Iran, stating that the Islamic Republic will never have a nuclear weapon. In New York, some family members used the occasion to criticize the U.S. government. Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families United, called for Saudi Arabia to be held accountable for its alleged complicity in the attacks.

Outlets with a center lean focused on the broad national reflection and the personal stories of survivors and families. Outlets with a center left lean emphasized the new moment of silence for illness victims and the demands for justice regarding Saudi Arabia. The reporting across all leans noted the presence of multiple U.S. presidents and the continued geopolitical influence of the attacks on current U.S. foreign policy.
