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.

United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited the town of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank on Saturday to meet with Palestinian Americans.
