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.

A whistleblower has claimed that the US Postal Service developed computer systems in a sloppy and rushed manner to comply with a Donald Trump decree regarding mail in voting restrictions. These claims come two months before the US midterm elections. The whistleblower warns that these systems were developed secretly and could result in thousands of legal ballots being discarded or millions of Americans being deprived of a remote ballot.
