Most of the MSM treated the Russian collusion/Steele dossier story the same way it did the laptop story, reported both as allegations.
One difference was the timing and strange story, though, which naturally made people more suspicious of the laptop story. But both stories were covered with caution by the MSM.

Your comment prompted me to Google “pee tape” where I was treated to an avalanche of cautious, sober-minded reporting over a 4 year period, including one in New York Magazine by Jonathan Chait titled “I’m a Peeliever - And You Should Be Too.” Thanks for the trip down memory lane, full of careful reporting and healthy journalistic skepticism regarding the Steele dossier.
The scary part here is that you cannot differentiate between reporting and opinion pieces on your own. This is the type of media illiteracy in the general population that reinforces how uneducated in critical thinking Americans are.

An opinion piece is not "reporting". Legacy media orgs like NPR keep their editorials completely separate from their hard news departments.
New York Magazine isn't part of the MSM, and who knows what Chait, who isn't a reporter, was talking about.
You haven't refuted what I said, if facts matter.
