2. Speaking of sources, the one you chose is a lousy source.

When Fox News announces it, it will be true. Until then, it's not. Your source is unreliable, to say the least.

That is all.

4. His Twitter profile reads as follows:

"Author, filmmaker, and recovering political operative. Veteran. SciFi aesthete. Philly kid."

Nothing in that suggests to me that his pronouncements shouldn't be taken with a honking big grain of salt.

5. He's another Twitter tweeter.

When and if Hannity is fired from Fox News, there will be Google News of it. Until then, you can trust that Hannity has not yet been fired, because when he is, it will be widely reported by many reliable news sources, not just random twits tweeting tweets on Twitter.

6. Alt-right hoaxster and troll according to Media Matters

Did "alt-right" hoaxster and troll Jack Posobiec plant fake protest signs at a net neutrality protest?
<snip>
Posobiec, known for pushing conspiracy theories such as Pizzagate, also has a history of arranging inflammatory chants and signage that are meant to paint progressives as extremists. In January, BuzzFeed’s Joseph Bernstein reported that a “Rape Melania” sign seen at an anti-Trump rally was “the culmination of a disinformation campaign by Posobiec and others intended to paint the anti-Trump rallies as violent and out of control,” and “according to a source, it is Posobiec himself holding the ‘Rape Melania’ sign in the photographs.” Bernstein added that Posobiec “claimed that he’d started an ‘assassinate Trump’ chant to goad protesters into copying him, with the intention of filming them.”

And they seem to be gaining more power relative to dear old dad.

9. It's really too bad that people keep posting fake news here.

DU is really starting to look more like a weird conspiracy forum.

A shame.

10. I agree. People should be more discerning before they give credence to the rumors they read.

I just was looking up the background of Bill Palmer, of The Palmer Report, b/c a lot of my liberal FB friends were posting stuff from him. He's a bit of a wacko too. No journalism background (he gives no background at all about himself on his website), very self-promoting, writes & tweets in sensationalistic language. Claims to have a lot of sources, gets VERY tetchy & lashes out when even mildly challenged. Be very leery of The Palmer Report.
