10. Is that what he's contending? That his suppositions are factual?

I never get that sense from his blog. I understand it to be pure conjecture with arguments to support. I have no problem with that. If he's peddling it as irrefutable fact...that's where his journalistic integrity goes down the toilet.

We live in a time where fake news, aka propaganda, is spewed non-stop as veritable news. It's what most right wingers rely upon on a daily basis, leaving them in the dark as to the actual state of current events. I truly feel sorry for them. I don't want to fall into that trap either, but for goodness sake, I can certainly discern the difference between well-sourced and factual reporting and unsubstantiated bloviation. Palmer is somewhere in the middle of all that.

On the left, we have very limited news sources. The Palmer Report is not one of them. The dude writes a blog. Read it with restraint, or don't read it at all.
