That's nothing. One of NYTimes top stories for the past 4 years was a fake dossier and "Russian collusion" that didn't exist. And they got us into a multi-trillion dollar war in the Middle East, too.

No, the President of the U.S. at the time got us into a multi-trillion dollar war in the Middle East. The NYT simply reported on the documents that the administration used to justify that war.

The "fake" dossier actually existed, as did its contents. What got leaked was an unfinished internal draft that was never meant to be released. Buzzfeed was the company that published the dossier; the NYT simply reported on the dossier after it became a big issue. Given the nature of the allegations, multiple agencies in the U.S. attempted to verify the allegations. They were able to corroborate some but not all of the allegations in the dossier, as discussed in the Mueller Report.

What is wrong with the NYTimes's reporting on the Steele dossier?

Shortly after it was published by Buzzfeed: "How a Sensational, Unverified Dossier Became a Crisis for Donald Trump"
