1. It's not only the NY Post reporting on it. Yes, it's a tabloid, but has been grudgingly vindicated by mainstream media outlets for this story. 2. It's not something ridiculous like "celebrities having sex with aliens". That's a bad comparison. 3. There is proof of corruption. Selectively ignoring it just because it's your side ie claiming it's "fake news" doesn't help society as a whole. It also adds credence to the far right's claims of selective and biased reporting. It furthers their narrative of persecution. It's how we go to this mess in the 1st place. If the mainstream media wasn't corrupted through the 1990s consolidation circus, I highly doubt Trump would have risen to power. He rose to power because of fallen public trust in public institutions like mainstream media.
