(of course Wikipedia is probably "manufactured narrative", right?).
Looks like it's another attempt of finding dirt, but whoever was doing it, put so much of made-up dirt in that laptop, that proper journalists saw it as an "Elvis spotted with aliens" story, even NYPost journalists didn't want anything to do with it:
> According to an investigation by The New York Times, editors at the New York Post "pressed staff members to add their bylines to the story", and at least one refused, in addition to the original author, reportedly because of a lack of confidence in its credibility. Of the two writers eventually credited on the article, the second did not know her name was attached to it until after The Post published it.
The fact that you trust this sort of journalism makes me assume your trust is based on what you find favorable...
