- 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 village of Zundert, Netherlands, hosted the world's largest flower parade on Sunday. The event marked its 80th anniversary in the birthplace of painter Vincent van Gogh. Twenty competing villages participated in the parade, featuring meter high floats that took months of preparation by volunteers. Each float was decorated with half a million dahlias, which were placed in the final days before the event. The themes of the floats ranged from nature scenes and pirates to medieval designs and Asian culture. The parade began in 1936 as a celebration for Queen Wilhelmina, was paused during World War II, and resumed in 1945. Organizers noted that the event serves as a significant social gathering for the community.
