Look, if you can't remember that CNN was running daily, constant programming focused on "what does this all mean" detailed discussions of each bullet-point on the dodgy dossier, then there really isn't much to talk about with you.

Almost every single time they mentioned the document, they would say something similar to, "We have not had the time to verify this document." They would then add, "But these allegations are so salacious and damning that we would not be doing our jobs of bringing you the news if we did not point out how incredibly bad of a person Trump must be if any of these items are true." At any rate, it was fuel to non-stop attack Trump.

If you don't remember it that way, then you are a damn liar or an unfortunate imbecile.

Choose one.

That's a lot of mad text that simply establishes my original premise.

The most salacious parts of the dossier were immediately disregarded by almost everyone, and made for a solid week of twitter jokes. The meeting allegations were treated more seriously, and I have no qualm with that, as I believe the dossier's existence, and to some extent the content, was newsworthy.

I'm uninterested in whatever dumb choice you're trying to force me into in some unremarkable defense of Trump (who isn't under attack by me in this thread).
