BuzzFeed Invokes Reporter's Privilege to Shield Trump Dossier Source

[Cyberfx1024 7,980]

This just keeps getting better and better for Fake News MSM that ran full bore with this story. 

 

On Monday, BuzzFeed told a Florida judge that it should not have to disclose the identity of the confidential source who gave the publication the infamous Trump Dossier.

BuzzFeed's publication in January of the Trump Dossier — a report prepared by former British spy Christopher Steele that detailed everything from President Donald Trump's supposed romps with prostitutes to coordination with the Russians over the hacking of Democrats — has BuzzFeed facing a defamation lawsuit from Russian tech entrepreneur Aleksej Gurbarev. 

Many people may have assumed that BuzzFeed got the Trump Dossier from Fusion GPS, which in 2016 conducted opposition research on Trump and hired Steele to investigate the then-candidate's ties to Russia. But according to BuzzFeed's newest court brief, when Gurbarev's attorney asked Fusion GPS's counsel if Fusion was BuzzFeed's source, the answer was no.

No, pretty much the MSM which included CNN and MSNBC ran full stop with this stupid Russian controversy that Trump had prostitutes pee on him in a hotel room in Moscow. So your telling me a germaphobe like Trump will allow women to pee on him???? That doesn't sound right at all.

Listen, we live in a country where Paris Hilton is a celebrity, and the Kardashians make millions with a mindless television show. Intellectually, the country is going bankrupt, and the press - all of it - caters to their audience. It's up to us, the readers, to cull.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. I would just like to see more actual old school journalism like in the past, and less high school BS gossiping going on.
