In a related thread, Buzzfeed admits it has not seen the actual evidence/report.

Sounds like the early days of the Pee Dossier. IIRC, Buzzfeed was the one who finally published reports about it — so that other news venues could report about it.

Buzzfeed should be listed as ‘zero credible’; no surprise that NBC News would now have an article about the Buzzfeed article.

Since it worked then, it should work now — Creative Journalism 101.

Actually CNN broke the dossier story, then Buzzfeed published the actual dossier.

Then they got sued by people who were accused of thing in it they did not do.

Last I saw the suit was thrown out because a judge ruled that the dossier was itself newsworthy by virtue of the fact it was in the news (CNN, I guess).

But, I do think they did us a favor by printing the entire dossier, this allowed everyone to see how absurd it was, how poorly sourced it was, etc. They probably did more to debunk the "muh Russia" narrative than any other MSM outlet.
