Palmer Report is a liberal American political blog.[1] It is written by Bill Palmer, who describes himself on his website as a “political journalist who covered the 2016 election cycle from start to finish.” Palmer previously ran a site called Daily News Bin, described by Snopes.com as “basically a pro-Hillary Clinton 'news site.' It was out there to counter misinformation.”[2] The site has been criticized for building a large following based on "wildly speculative theories about Donald Trump."[3]
Founder
Palmer is described by Business Insider's Pamela Engel as "a mysterious figure who is behind several shuttered publications and has made enemies online as he threatens and intimidates those who question his reporting."[4]
Criticism
The Atlantic's McKay Coppins called the Palmer Report "the publication of record for anti-Trump conspiracy nuts who don’t care about the credibility of the record."[5] The New Republic's Colin Dickey claims that Palmer "routinely blasts out stories that sound serious but are actually based on a single, unverified source," such as the time when he reported Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts had ordered Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch to recuse himself from all Trump-related Russia hearings, with his only sourcing coming from a "single tweet from an anonymous Twitter account under the name 'Puesto Loco.'"[3]
