    Fox News is extremely unreliable.

    How is an interview with a public figure unreliable? Did they dub in someone else's voice. You guys are hilarious.

    Bob Goodlatte is unreliable.

    Also, he missed his calling. Should have been a barista.

    Perhaps not to your point to dviss. But it does matter that he's a liar, in the real world.

    I don't waste my time with Fox not because they are rarely right but because they are so often full of shit.

    I don’t watch any major news outlets cause I thought they were all full of crap. Here’s the thing though and I’m just as guilty, just because I strongly disagree with someone doesn’t invalidate everything they say or do.
    Not pointed at you, but I think we have a strong problem here of ad hominem towards news outlets, and just people in general, we don’t like I really dislike Trump but I think the biggest thing he has going for him is that the media spent the entire campaign attacking him rather than his politics. I don’t remember a single real debate on policies in 2016...

    Political debates include a man's character.

    Of course they do, but they also include a slew of other things that they never got to because Hillary and Trump were too busy telling us how big of a pile of crap they thought they other one was / is...

    Good thing he's the only one. So, going forward Fox News is fine as long as Goodcoffee ain't on there.

    I 100% wholeheartedly disagree, and not only because a large portion of American citizens dearly hold values I find abhorrent (and probably vice-versa). Political debates include debates on the politics. See: Romney vs. Obama, 2012. See Perot vs. Bush vs. Clinton. Hell, see Quayle/Gore/Stockdale. I'm having a hard time thinking of a politician in my lifetime who holds a candle to Stockdale's character and values, but that wasn't the point of the debates.

    That logic leaves a little something to be desired.

    Well if the guy is portraying things inaccurately then I would say it's unreliable. It's why Trump is an unreliable source. He lies often.

    A lot more than often. I'd say he lies virtually all the time.

    The qualities that we consider makes up a mans character can and do differ greatly. Then the weight we assign to these qualities may differ even more.
    Then the filters we use in making these judgements are not close to the same. Where you see virtual liar, I am amazed at your obstinance.

    The source is Representative Bob Goodlate.

    What is your problem with that?

    Oh dear me.

    Fusion GPS ordered to give deposition in civil suit against BuzzFeed, Christopher Steele

    A federal judge in Florida this week ordered Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that commissioned the infamous anti-Trump dossier, to give a deposition in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against BuzzFeed News and the former British spy who compiled the dossier.

    In a 16-page ruling filed Thursday, U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro rejected claims by Fusion that sitting for a deposition would "require disclosure of confidential business relationships" and "implicate Fusion GPS' First Amendment rights." Ungaro also wrote that Fusion must answer questions about what ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele was told about the nature of his assignment to compile the dossier.

    "There is no evidence in the record to suggest that such inquiry would be cumulative and Fusion GPS's conclusory claims of undue burden are plainly outweighed by the significant relevance of the proposed inquiry," Ungaro wrote.

    Russian tech guru Aleksej Gubarev has filed civil claims in the U.S. and the U.K. against BuzzFeed and Steele. He claims his companies, Webzilla and XBT Holdings, were defamed by Steele after the BuzzFeed published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017.

    The dossier alleged that Gubarev's companies "used botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct 'alerting operations' against the Democratic party leadership."

    The dossier drew worldwide headlines for its salacious, unverified allegations about then-President-elect Donald Trump. Though Gubarev's lawsuit does not directly involve Trump, it promises a harsh spotlight on the vetting processes of both Steele and BuzzFeed.

    Gubarev's attorney, Evan Fray-Witzer, told Fox News in an email that Fusion GPS will have until Aug. 31 to sit for a deposition.

    Former British spy Christopher Steele sat for a four-hour videotaped deposition last month.

    "After a year of doing everything they could think of to avoid being deposed, Fusion GPS will finally have to answer our questions," Fray-Witzer told Fox News. "We knew that they had made a mistake when they asked for the case to be sent down to Florida. Judge Ungaro is very engaged in this case and she saw through Fusion’s objections."

    Josh Levy, an attorney for Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.

    Last month, Steele gave a four-hour videotaped deposition in London in order to comply with a similar order by a British High Court judge.

    Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, were hired by Simpson's U.S.-based Fusion to work on the dossier and promote its contents to journalists. Fusion received $1.8 million via the law firm Perkins Coie, which was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
