The Russian Dossier was basically fake and they ran with that all day every day.

MSM does not generate baseless scandals like the Right?  You are seriously trolling hard right now.  You have to be.

You are making claims about the MSM without actually reading it apparently.

The Russian Dossier was not "basically fake." You are confusing right wing news media conclusions and representations with MSM reporting. The Dossier was reported on as news, as should be the case, with parts of it given different levels of credibility. E.G., Investigations into Cohen and Manafort confirm their actions in Russia on behalf of Trump as reported in the Steele Dossier. 

If we are talking about the NYT and WaPo and CNN and MSNBC, their reporters/commentators did not maintain Trump was literally an "agent of Putin." They correctly assessed, based on available evidence, that Russia made overtures to the Trump administration which were welcomed. They reported the assessment of our own intel agencies that Putin wanted Trump to win, and interfered in our elections to get that result. And they have since reported his inability to criticize Russia, or to accept our intel's assessments over Putin's. All Putin has to do is let Trump be Trump to function as an unwitting Russian asset, weakening US alliances, dividing the country at home, and crippling it's intel agencies from above.

All these points remain concerning, and far from "baseless scandal" as Russia continues to interfere in our elections and our own intel agencies must try to protect us without executive leadership. 

Frame it this way--

the MSM has been warning us of the danger of Trusting a president who hides his finances, lies constantly about his ties to Russia, and will break democratic norms to stay in power. 

The Right Wing Media has done its best to undermine the credibility of the MSM to keep Trump in power.
