It's a real shame how thoroughly the mainstream media has embarrassed itself this past week, and at such a crucial time in our nation's history. Palmer Report will keep doing everything possible to force the media to be more honest.
I created Palmer Report specifically to push back against the false narratives that the mainstream media far too often pushes as a result of its own insular tone deafness and desire to score ratings at all costs. This week has been a reminder that there's still work to do.
Fox News is bad enough. But at least people outside that particular bubble generally understand it isn't real. The real damage comes when "trusted" news outlets like NBC or the New York Times go off the rails. The media has been better in 2020 than 2016 – but old habits die hard.
The exasperating thing about these past few years is I've had to take on Trump's BS while also taking on the media's BS.
I look forward to the day when I can simply focus on keeping the media honest, without Trump's nonstop chaos getting in the way.

If that sounds like I'm tilting at windmills, then so be it. But SOMEBODY has to find a way to force the media to be honest. No one has, and look at the mess we're in as a result.
