So just provide some links real quick from legit news. I'm sure t shouldn't be too hard with how prevalent you say it was. I've searched several ways and can't find a link from a major news site propagating the hoax. They seem to denounce it.
It's true. As far as I can tell, both WaPo and New York Times are reporting on Buzzfeed's behavior and the subsequent debate about ethics, rather than the allegations themselves.

The time stamps of 4chan dont make any sense. Mother Jones even reported on this a tad on Oct 30. 4chan's earliest post was Nov 1 16.
The person in quesition from 4chan, rick Wilson, denies he had anything to do with this as well.
Something is missing

I would NEVER Vote for Trump. I do not believe that this new "revelation" is true. What purpose would it serve now? He has already won.
The hire is a big loss for BuzzFeed News, as Kaczynski's team gave the organization some of its most noteworthy election scoops throughout 2016. The loss also comes after BuzzFeed News editor in chief Ben Smith and CNN head Jeff Zucker spoke critically of each others' news operations following Zucker's comments that BuzzFeed was not a “legitimate” news operations.

Obama told Lester Holt he was never briefed on this so it's looking like that part is also a total fabrication. It appears more and more like this is an elaborate hoax that originated on 4chan.
Edit: Here is NBC confirming this brief never happened. The entire document is a fake. Source: NBC News

It's amazing that the CNN reporter actually thought he had the right to shout and shout about defending CNN in a press conference. What a moron. He should have been thrown out and I believe he was told that the next time he behaves in such an unprofessional manner that he will be thrown out. Trump's final line was perfect though.. "No I am not going to give you a question. You are fake news."

So what we have is a clear case of the DNC conspiring with a foreign intelligence service in Britain to construct fake news and implant it into the US media. Must have been the Russians.
