Daily News Bin???

I've seen several way over the top pro Clinton articles linked here. Here are the facts...

Today, a "Tim Martyn" from the Web site Daily News Bin posted a "report" about how the Kentucky gubernatorial election was stolen. Martyn gave no sources, no quotations, no data, and no logic. The report is pathetic innuendo, but it has gotten a little play on Facebook.

Who is Tim Martyn? It appears "he" is a pseudonym. There is no "Tim Martyn" appearing on any other Web site. He's never worked for another news outlet, he's got no Facebook page or LinkedIn page or any other presence outside of Daily News Bin. No family, no friends, no past.

What is Daily News Bin? It is a "news" Web site created on February 16, 2015. No one knows who owns the domain, because it was registered secretly using the company Domains By Proxy. Rather obviously, Daily News Bin has something to hide. Daily News Bin claims to be run by Bill Palmer, its "Senior Editor". There is, apparently, a "Bill Palmer". He's written all of two articles for BeatWeek, a music magazine. He claims to be the magazine's editor-in-chief, but if you go to BeatWeek's Web site and try to verify that -- you discover that the "About" page is an attack-page full of viruses that attempts to take over your computer. In fact, that's true of almost every page on BeatWeek's Web site, except for their "Contact Us" page.
