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.

Police in Puri, Odisha, recovered the decomposed body of a woman from a box like structure beneath the kitchen slab of her rented home late Monday night. The woman's son, who is in his 40s, is currently on the run and is the prime suspect in the killing.
The discovery followed a report from the landlady, who alerted authorities after noticing a foul smell coming from the residence. Upon entering the home, police and forensic teams discovered fresh cement work in the kitchen. It took investigators several hours to break through the slab and recover the body.
According to Puri Superintendent of Police Prateek Singh, the son's absence and the attempt to conceal the body under the slab increased suspicion. While one source notes that the mother and son earned a living selling items near the Puri Jagannath temple, another report includes police statements suggesting the son frequently appeared to be under the influence of drugs, argued with his mother, and defaulted on rent payments.
Police suspect the murder occurred before August 21, though a post mortem report is pending to confirm the exact details. Special teams have been formed to trace the suspect.
