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 outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Tom Barrack, the special presidential envoy for Syria and US ambassador to Turkey, called Israeli air strikes on the Abu al-Duhur Airbase an unnecessary escalation on Tuesday. Barrack stated that the strikes do not advance regional stability. Damascus condemned the event as an unjustified act of aggression, reporting material damage but no casualties at the base located near the Turkish border. The strikes occurred less than a day after White House envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss disarmament in Gaza.
