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.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru from September 8 to 10. According to the US Department of State, the trip aims to strengthen key partnerships in the region. Rubio is scheduled to meet with the new government of Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia, President Daniel Noboa in Ecuador, and the new government of Keiko Fujimori in Peru. The primary agenda items include US support for Colombia's response to a recent earthquake, enhanced cooperation in the fight against narcoterrorism, and the benefits of deeper trade relations. In Colombia, discussions may specifically address the suspension of tariffs on Colombian products and the country's effort to regain its US certification as an ally in the drug fight. In Peru, US Ambassador Bernie Navarro described Rubio as a consequential secretary of state and indicated that the visit would bring positive news for cooperation. Center left framing suggests the visit occurs amid a regional shift toward right wing governments and notes human rights concerns regarding US naval offensives in the Caribbean and Pacific. Center right framing emphasizes the strategic nature of the trade negotiations and the specific goal of securing a secure and democratic Western Hemisphere.
