You CANNOT sort sources by mentions, or filter out only blog mentions in the Brand Monitoring tool

This statement is false. The Brand Monitoring tool in Semrush offers robust filtering and sorting capabilities. You can indeed sort sources by the number of mentions, allowing you to prioritize or analyze the most frequently mentioned sources. Furthermore, the tool provides various filtering options, including the ability to filter out specific source types, such as blogs. This allows users to focus their analysis on particular media types or exclude irrelevant sources, making the Brand Monitoring tool highly flexible for tracking brand mentions across different platforms.
