Palmer Report is an American left wing and alt left political blog,[3] founded in 2016 and based in Los Angeles, California.[4] It is written by Bill Palmer, along with a number of other contributors.[5] Palmer previously ran a site called Daily News Bin,[6] described by Snopes editor Brooke Binkowski as "basically a pro-Hillary Clinton 'news site'".[7] The site has built a following based on speculative theories about Donald Trump going to prison.[8]

Reception

Palmer Report has been quoted by both the Washington Post and USA today as a political blogger and analyst.[9][10]

In 2017, Zack Beauchamp of Vox Media said Palmer Report was a "mirror image of Breitbart and InfoWars on the right".[11]

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".[3] The New Republic's Colin Dickey said that Palmer "routinely blasts out stories that sound serious but are actually based on a single, unverified source". On another episode of purportedly overzealous editorialization, 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'".[8]
