Some network guests did. And they probably were chosen for holding a view like that. While I agree a description of "the MSM told us he was a Russian agent" takes it too far, saying they just objectively stated the facts and did everything to avoid anti-Trump spin wouldn't take it far enough.
As for Democrats, some also took it way too far.

An example of the former would be Trump's efforts to block our own intel agencies from following his private discussions with Putin, along with his inability to criticize Putin publicly and to publicly favor the world of Putin over his own intel, and, of course, to deny that there was Russian interference in the election.  Not to mention inviting the Russians into the Oval Office unescorted by our intel services and telling them that he had ended an investigation into his collusion by firing Comey.

Yep. Oh and there's also Kushner meeting with sanctioned Russian bankers, the Russian money laundering station Deutsche Bank that gave him loads of loans and was willing to take grossly misstated wealth estiments at face value, missing foreign inauguration money, Manafort giving Deripaska briefings, said guy suddenly being excluded from Russian sanctions, the Trump tower Moscow project and all the lies about business with Russia... all of which aren't any less noteworthy as they were before the report. What got somewhat less noteworthy are merely some Kysliak contacts, Felix Sater sayings, maybe Wikileaks and the Trump Tower meeting and things like that. Fair enough, there's no point in investigating these things further, but that's it.

As you said, Trump still might be in Putin's pocket. Never mind the instances like a sudden sanctions lift after some Qataris bought a failed scyscraper and other things that don't relate to Russia and are still, well, concerning.

As for the meddling, I guess there was no need for any Trump campaign expertise to do that.
