Dear Washington Post: you called Palmer Report a "conspiratorial website" today, simply because we explained that Trump – who's being criminally indicted in two jurisdictions – is on track for prison. That's not a "conspiracy." It's us doing your job for you, while you smear us.
We recently predicted that as it became more obvious that Trump is on track for indictment and is facing prison, the more frantically the media would try to shout it down. Media wanted to spend 2022 milking "Trump 2024" for ratings. The facts now get in the way of that narrative.
Not only does today's Washington Post article baselessly claim that Trump is unlikely to be indicted by anyone, it also claims that even if he is indicted and convicted, he'll still somehow magically be a 2024 candidate. Talk about a loony conspiracy theory!
100% of the publicly available facts point to Trump being indicted in New York and Georgia. Literally nothing points to him not being indicted. So when the media makes baseless claims that he'll just get away with it all, that is in fact a conspiracy theory on the media's part.
Is it theoretically possible that Trump will somehow magically evade grand jury indictment? Sure. But it's also theoretically possible that we're being controlled by lizard people. There's just no evidence to support either claim. That's why they're both mere conspiracy theories.
It's also surreal that the Washington Post is whining about how many Twitter followers Palmer Report has. Turns out the author of the article does in fact have slightly fewer followers than we do. These attacks by the media are always so weirdly personal almost stalker-like.
In any case, it appears we've reached the stage where the media is being proven so wrong about Trump getting indicted, it's now lashing out at Palmer Report for having been correct. Media did the same thing to us, for similar reasons of resentful retaliation, back in 2018.
This was likely inevitable. The media spent all of 2021 chasing ratings by hyping the false narrative that Trump was going to somehow magically get away with it all, and now they're starting to look foolish for it. So of course they'll punish us for having been honest about it.
But if there is one thing that I'm admittedly naive about, it's that I always think the media won't sink even lower than it already has, won't cross yet another ethical line. And then the media nearly always sinks even lower.
As for the Washington Post, it called Palmer Report "fake news" in 2017, then used our material in its articles in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and is now calling us "conspiratorial" in 2022. Come on, either we're legit or we're not! This proves the media just makes it up as it goes.
If the Washington Post legitimately believes Palmer Report is "fake news" as it claimed, and yet three of its own authors have since gone on to quote Palmer Report as source material, then its editorial oversight must be nonexistent. It's repeatedly using "fake news" as a source.
