MS NOW issues correction after reporting Kash Patel 'landed in Russia' while he was actually in Virginia

MS NOW correction on false Kash Patel Russia report highlights media credibility risk.

What happened: MS NOW reported FBI Director Kash Patel had landed in Russia, then corrected it after the FBI said he was in Virginia at a Liberty University law enforcement appreciation event. Key numbers: Politico reported in July that Patel had a planned Russia trip including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Why it matters: The FBI's Rapid Response account mocked the network's sourcing, and Patel responded, "Facts over clickbait." MS NOW said it regrets the error and remains transparent about errors.
