The easiest way to tell is if they are publishing the dossier or parts of it, they believe it is real. Apparently they all had it and did not think much of it. Then the CIA vetted it and briefed Obama. Then Buzzfeed and Slate jumped in, based on we don't know if it is real, let the people clicking on our sites decide. Which is the fake news approach. CNN legitimized the story. That really was the moment the story came alive. Then it was everywhere.
