Thank you to New York Times reporter @daveyalba for falsely accusing Palmer Report of being a "false content producer" while providing zero examples of our supposed false content, and giving us no opportunity to comment for your libelous story. Must be a proud day for you, Davey!
When I say that I spend every day fighting for my reputation because of the lies that the mainstream media obsessively makes up about me, I'm not exaggerating. It never ends. I'm not even that popular, yet they're just clinically obsessed with lying about me.
I've gotten the mainstream media to retract some of the lies they've published about me. Some of them realize I'm not going to take it lying down. Some of them are so obsessed with lying about me, they don't care what it does to their own reputations.
This is the first time the New York Times has called me fake news.
The Washington Post called me fake news in two different articles, then later quoted me as a reliable source in another article.
They don't seem to care about the hypocrisy.

One time a large news site published an article about how inaccurate Palmer Report supposedly is (citing no examples), and then inaccurately called me "Robert Palmer." When I complained, they only issued a correction about my name. Days later they took the entire article down.
One time the executive editor of a large online news site had Twitter meltdown because I got retweeted by someone famous. Then he had his news site spend the next month digging into my personal life, looking for anything scandalous. Went back twenty years. Found nothing on me.
One time I caught a fact checking site doing something unethical with regard to a candidate. That fact checking site then retaliated by doing a dozen interviews about me, calling me a "creep" and a "cipher" and such.
Yes, I know how to piss off people in the mainstream media. But I'm never trying to. I'm just doing my job, when they refuse to do theirs. I've never dealt with bigger weasels, sociopaths, and vengeful turds in my life than in the mainstream media. Truly scary how much they suck.
The kicker is that no matter how much corrective feedback this NYT reporter gets, she won't do her homework with it, or even consider that she was wrong. Instead she'll just take the negative feedback as a sign that she's somehow doing something right. These types are so smug.
When you see how easily the New York Times and other major news outlets are willing to lie about someone like me, it really makes you question how much dishonesty goes into everything else they publish. Shoplifters don't usually just do it once, you know what I mean?
The sad part is I want the New York Times to be good. I want it to prosper. It has resources I don't. It can break stories I can't. It has a crucial role in society. I'm rooting for the NY Times to survive. Yet it wastes its time lying about me, instead of trying to get better.
For a few years I've said that once the election was over, I would turn my attention toward forcing the mainstream political media to clean up its act and start being more honest. Now I'm more determined than ever. We can't have a mainstream media this awful. We just can't.
