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 women's basketball team defeated France 97 to 79 in the final in Berlin on Sunday to win their 12th World Cup title. This victory marks the fifth consecutive championship for the U.S. and extends their winning streak in the competition to 36 games, a run that dates back to 2006. The U.S. has now equaled the record of five consecutive titles previously held by the Soviet Union.
