Palmer Report is an American liberal 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 been criticized for building a large following based on speculative theories about Donald Trump.

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".
