Palmer Report is an alt-left American political blog, based in Los Angeles, California. 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, along with more than fifty additional writers. Palmer previously ran a site called Daily News Bin, described by Snopes editor Brooke Binkowski as "basically a pro-Hillary Clinton 'news site.'" The site has built a large following based on theories about Donald Trump going to prison on the completion of his term.

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."

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." 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." 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.'" Zack Beauchamp of Vox Media says, "mirror image of Breitbart and InfoWars on the right".

"As confusion swirled in Washington Wednesday following Trump’s firing of Comey, Democratic Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey went on CNN to make an explosive claim: A grand jury had been empaneled in New York to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. (Another grand jury investigation, in Virginia, has been reported by CNN.) Among the outlets that eagerly picked up the news were the Palmer Report and the Twitter feed of Louise Mensch, who has accused hundreds of people of being Russian agents, often with no evidence. And what were Markey’s sources for this alarming claim? According to a Guardian reporter and the Daily Caller, none other than the Palmer Report and Mensch themselves. Hours after making the claim, Markey was forced to apologize for spreading unsubstantiated information, and, through a spokesman, to reveal that he had no direct knowledge of any New York investigation. Markey's office did not respond to a request for comment. And despite Markey’s apology, as of Thursday afternoon, the Palmer Report headline read: “U.S. Senator confirms grand jury is now underway in Donald Trump case in New York State.""
