Wouldn't pushing a story that was "neither verified or falsified", be considered "fake news", by some definition?
"By some definition", sure. I have no idea what the definition of fake news is (I just made a comment saying I have no idea what it is at this point), but I expect that some definitions being used would include buzzfeed yep.
Fake news means that the story was deliberately made up. Nobody did that in this case.
The report was verified to be written by the ex-MI6 spy. The claims in the report are what are yet to be verified.
