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.

Yair Golan, the chairman of the Democrats party, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Sara Netanyahu. The suit follows suggestions made by the prime minister's wife that Golan had advance knowledge of the Hamas attack on October 7. According to one report, the lawsuit seeks $843,000 in damages.
The allegations surfaced during a televised interview in late August. One source notes that the prime minister's wife invoked a betrayal from within conspiracy theory, which is popular among supporters of Benjamin Netanyahu. Golan stated that the legal action is not only about his reputation, but also about a government that has lost all restraint.
