2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: New Post on Palmer Report...Wisconsin (another update on Waukesha County) [View all]radius777
(3,814 posts)42. Palmer is a good guy who is hated by the alt-left.
Palmer is a very pro-Hillary/Obama guy and was smeared in the primaries by the alt-left (berniebots, etc) and alt-right (trumpbots) as being a "fake news site", and he had to fight to get his name off such lists, which were themselves exposed to be fake news designed to smear independent sites like his that were critical of Bernie/Trump campaigns, who had the most fanatical supporters that would do anything to silence the truth.
I've been reading Palmer's sites for the past six months or so, and he's an opinion journalist who definitely comes at a slanted angle, but doesn't hide that fact, and most of what he writes is accurate, at least by the standards of modern-day, click-baity, internet journalism.
