Yahoo was the one who published the Steele dossier misinformation 4 years ago. Why are they better?

That was published, post-election, by Buzzfeed News.
It goes much before that. Isikoff met Steele on Sept 22, 2016, and published a story about Carter Page the next day. He didn’t verify a thing. All he did was get an anon government official to say FBI had the dossier. And that kind of journalism happens all the time and never gets called out. The double standards are amazing.
Carter Page really ought to have sued Yahoo and that Isikoff fellow over how they misrepresented him!
