I never have trusted the "Palmer Report," and never will.

A fairly new media watchdog has popped up, and the Palmer Report bitched at them including this comment about Snopes:

"You’ve only singled out two Palmer Report articles in our communications. One of those two articles was famously (and incorrectly) attacked by disgraced “fact checking” site Snopes..."

And just about as reliable. I don't mind a slant but they'd better be accurate, which the Palmer Report often is not. I'm not interested in tendentious bullshit, even if it favors my political opinions.

The Palmer Report is one of the sites on my Do Not Visit list. Early on I found Palmer guilty of over-hyping stories, using dramatic click bait headlines that the story didn't support, arriving at a convoluted conclusion on a piece of news to please its liberal readers, too much cut and paste of others' work, etc.

Often anonymous.

Above it's called "Left-wing Breitbart."

Very true.

Sometimes fun to read but can't be taken seriously. He is constantly predicting disasters for the GOP and Trump that never occur.

I take all of it with a grain of salt and not seriously. It’s entertainment, that’s all.
