- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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 US Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using a new congressional map for the November midterm elections. The court granted an emergency request from opponents of the map to stop the state from using the Republican favored boundaries. This decision follows a legal conflict between a federal court order that authorized the new map and a Missouri Supreme Court ruling that directed the state to revert to its 2022 district lines.
The new map was engineered by GOP lawmakers and supported by President Donald Trump. The Supreme Court order was issued without noted dissents or a detailed explanation. Because of this ruling, the state will use the existing 2022 map for the upcoming elections.
Outlets with different political leanings framed the event differently. Center and left leaning sources described the ruling as a block of a GOP backed map or a rejection of Republican efforts. Center left and center right sources framed the decision as a personal defeat for President Donald Trump. A center left source contextualized the event as part of a broader war of gerrymandering between Republicans and Democrats.
