Some troll has turned Palmer Report’s Wikipedia page into one big long attack on us, and has removed all of the positive content about us. Can someone please edit the page and remove the garbage? Thanks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Re…
Things that are illegitimate about our Wikipedia page:

1) Snopes ended up firing Brooke Binkiwski, after disciplining her for making inappropriate remarks about the news sites she was covering, so her quote about us is illegitimate and should be removed.
2) The Trump-Russia scandal, which was ultimately validated by a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report, is not “dubious content” or a “conspiracy theory.” That entire quote should be removed.
3) We were not “shared almost exclusively by Hillary Clinton supporters.” This false claim, which is laughable on its face, should be removed.
4) The prospect of Donald Trump going to prison is not a “conspiracy theory.” His company was just criminally indicted, for crying out loud. This remark needs to be removed.
5) The location of the Trump desk is still disputed, and in any case obviously not important enough to be on Wikipedia page. This nonsense should be removed.
6) Our analysis of the Syrian missile strike was accurate; the respected Lawrence O’Donnell said the same thing. The fact that the Wikipedia editor attacks O’Donnell is proof that this is nothing more than biased right wing hackery, and should be removed.
7) The source of the Ed Markey thing was Louise Mensch, not Palmer Report. This is part of a years-long bizarre effort to tie us to Mensch, someone we were never aligned with. This nonsense should be deleted.
8) Our analysis of the Niger ambush was accurate; the respected Rachel Maddow said the same thing. Again, this Wikipedia editor’s bizarre attack on Maddow makes clear that it’s biased hackery. It should be removed.
9) The entire “reception” section is nothing but baseless whining about Palmer Report written by its competitors. This is obviously all biased and must be removed.
10) In particular, Glenn Greenwald was ousted from the Intercept, and Bethania Palma was ousted from Snopes, this making clear that their whining about us is biased and illegitimate; none of it is in line with Wikipedia’s bias standards.
11) The German Marshall Fund study did NOT categorize us as “false content producers.” The source link doesn’t even support this. Whoever hacked our Wikipedia page made this up; it should be removed.
12) The Columbia Journalism Review study labels Palmer Report as having “bias” but does NOT categorize us as “fake-news, clickbait, and hate sites.” The source link proves this. Again, this is just a made-up lie. It needs to be deleted.
13) The Wikipedia hacker is claiming that “Palmer threatens people.” This is dishonestly out of context, as the source link merely documents me threatening to report trolls and such. This false claim should be deleted.
It looks like some of you are already working to try to clean up the page. Not surprisingly, the rogue “editor” seems to be pushing back. Please keep trying to correct the page. At some point the editor will realize he’s not getting away with the lies and move on. Thank you.
For crying out loud, this rogue Wikipedia editor is comparing us to Breitbart (a white supremacist site) and InfoWars (a site that claims school shootings never happened). This is obviously false on its face. Please help us remove all of these easily disproven lies.

When Trump was in office, he knew he could block federal prosecution, so he’d confess to his crimes and try to play them down. For him it was a PR game. That’s why he confessed last night. But he apparently forgot he’s no longer in office and is vulnerable to prosecution. Oops 😆
We’ll see if New York prosecutors view Trump’s confession last night as having been direct enough to use as evidence. But either way, he’s flaunting his crimes at this point, which surely deepens the resolve of those prosecutors to see this through and indict him.
Does Trump honestly believe he’s still in office?

Is he unaware that these are state, not federal, charges?

Has he ever understood the difference?

We just caught a Wikipedia editor saying this in the talk section: "If a majority of the Palmer Report's peers (or rivals/competitors) call the blog a conspiracy site, then Wikipedia is obligated to follow their lead." Think we now have grounds for serious legal action.
This Wikipedia editor keeps digging himself a deeper hole.

Now he's insisting that I'm "not fully there look up blue anon if you have to And the fact the evidence shows all there that he is a conspiracy theorist."

Huh?

Again this is a Wikipedia editor talking in public 🙄
This same Wikipedia editor is continuing to falsely claim that I tried to "doxx" him – which I obviously did not. Yet another individual who's so obsessed with destroying me, he's willing to risk destroying himself in the process. Profoundly disturbing.

It’s been clear since November 2019 that if Trump lost reelection, he’d end up on a path to prison in New York.

It’s not “speculative” or a “conspiracy theory” to say that Donald Trump is going to prison. It’s the real story. It has been for a year and a half. Now it’s underway.
Stop acting like Palmer Report is doing something weird by saying it. Stop asking why we’ve been the only one saying it for the past year and a half. Start asking the rest of the media why they spent all that time ignoring the fact that New York indictments would come if he lost.
This week’s indictments, which are an obvious precursor for Trump himself being indicted, were always going to happen. Always. Why do you think New York went after his tax returns and banking records and such? This has been an ongoing active criminal investigation since 2019.

Prosecutors have made clear they’ll do whatever necessary to try to get Weisselberg to flip. So they’ll obviously seek a harsh prison sentence. There’s no chance they seek probation or a fine if this heads to trial. And Weisselberg is surely figuring this out.
With these charges and this proof, Weisselberg will almost certainly be convicted. Hoping for acquittal is not a valid strategy for him. His only hope would be if the judge gives him a lenient sentence.
But with prosecutors being this aggressive yeah but instead can you get vanilla ice cream

I’m tired of being targeted, stalked, and harassed by fucking psychos.
TO be clear, most the psychos who do this stuff to me are liberals, and half of them are journalists. They don't do it over a difference of political views; they do it either because they're mentally unstable, or out of professional jealousy.
My political analysis is not remotely controversial (or even important enough) for multiple journalists at major news outlets to have derailed their careers while trying to smear me. And yet it's happened. People (on my political side) destroy themselves trying to destroy me.

Most outlets make their headlines so understated, you’re baited into clicking on them just to find out what they’re about. Understated headlines are literally clickbait. If Palmer Report’s headlines seem loud in comparison, it’s because we use them to point to the actual story.
Some folks who are new to Palmer Report like to complain about our headlines being too this or too that, because they’re accustomed to the dishonestly understated headlines they see everywhere else. But we’re not going to water down our headlines just to try to fit in.
Every headline we’ve ever run has been justified by the contents of our accompanying article. We don’t owe the complainers anything beyond that.
