The coverage

How far to trust it
GPBlog is a lower-tier outlet - quick to publish, and the tier most likely to overstate a claim. We rate every outlet we track on how often it reports a story first and how often it holds up.
Who else has it
GPBlog is the only outlet we track carrying this. Nobody else has picked it up yet, so there is nothing to corroborate it against.
