Full coverage
Reported
Official — confirmed directly by an official series or governing-body source.
Reported — written as settled fact by the outlets covering it, without an official source directly.
Unconfirmed — the wording hedges (reportedly, could, linked with), so treat it as a claim, not a fact.
Based on each outlet's official status and how firmly their headlines are worded.
GPBlog is a lower-tier outlet - quick to publish, and the tier most likely to overstate a claim.
GPBlog is the only outlet we track carrying this. Nobody else has picked it up yet, so there is nothing to corroborate it against.
