4 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. Poli Alert has not been placed on the spectrum, so there is no side to count against and we publish no figure here.
Across the 4 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of Poli Alert: its report arrived a median of 5 days after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 8 August 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 7 August 2026. Ratings pulled 8 August 2026.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
