The Palmer Report (TPR) is a liberally biased news site / blog that deals more in confirmation bias than in actual reporting. Confirmation bias generally consists of taking a set of facts, often unrelated, and building a web of conjecture around them in order to present a specific point of view as opposed to the actual facts. While confirmation bias may not be, technically, fake news, the sensational nature of this type of reporting often does more harm than good. Mr. Palmer has been criticized for inaccurate reporting in his work by other fact and bias checking sites, both for his work on Daily News Bin and on TPR, as evidenced by the entries on this list from Snopes, as well this article from the The Atlantic. Although TPR does contain some factual content, the misleading and biased way in which it is presented earns TPR a Questionable rating. (D. Kelley 4/3/17)
Overall, we rate the Palmer Report Left Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that routinely favor the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks. (11/25/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 9/21/2019)

'People want it to be true': Inside the growing influence of a mysterious anti-Trump website

Last weekend, two Trump critics — Louise Mensch, a former member of the British Parliament, and Claude Taylor, a former Clinton White House official — cited anonymous sources in claiming there was a "sealed indictment" against Trump. (Taylor is listed as a writer for the Palmer Report.) Their report gained traction on Twitter, where it was seized on by fellow critics of the president and mocked by many legal experts who questioned its comprehension of the Constitution.
As it often is, the pair's reporting was picked up by the Palmer Report, a left-leaning website that has been gaining influence online as prominent figures in politics and media share and cite its stories and information.
The "about" page of the Palmer Report thanks numerous people for sharing its articles, including several MSNBC figures; Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe; two former governors; Rep. Ted Lieu of California; and celebrities like Patricia Arquette, Mark Ruffalo, and Debra Messing. The site has also caught the attention of former Obama administration officials. Ned Price, who was a spokesman for the National Security Council and had worked for the CIA, recently shared a Palmer Report article on Twitter, to which Eric Schultz, who was a senior adviser to Obama, replied, "Too bad nobody flagged this earlier."
When journalists — including Business Insider Executive Editor Brett LoGiurato — asked Price about sharing the Palmer Report story, Price said that "every once in a blue moon, the tin hat can fit."
