Another day, another media hoax bites the dust. This time, it came courtesy of MSNBC and their resident deep-state mouthpiece, Frank Figliuzzi, who spun up a completely baseless story targeting Trump’s FBI Director, Kash Patel. And—surprise—it unraveled within days.
Last week, Figliuzzi took to Morning Joe to peddle claims that Patel, a former Trump national security official and now head of the FBI under President Trump’s second term, had supposedly turned the agency into a frat house. According to Figliuzzi, Patel was “reportedly” spending more time at nightclubs than in the Hoover Building, with his daily briefings allegedly reduced to twice a week. Not once did he offer a shred of evidence. But that didn’t stop the MSNBC echo chamber from running wild with it.
“He’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi claimed with a straight face. “There’s also been reporting… that Patel spent a lot of his time at his home in Las Vegas.” It didn’t matter that this “reporting” didn’t exist. The narrative was all that mattered.

MSNBC, naturally, let it air unchallenged—until the lie blew up in their faces.
By Monday, the network was forced into a rare and humiliating on-air retraction: “This was a misstatement. We have not verified that claim.” Translation: We spread a fake smear about a Trump official and got caught. Again.

This is the same playbook they’ve used for years—launch a wild accusation against anyone close to Trump, let the media sharks feast on it, and quietly walk it back when the damage is done. Whether it’s Russian collusion, fine people hoaxes, or now nightclub nonsense, the formula doesn’t change.
Meanwhile, by all credible accounts, Kash Patel is doing exactly what he was appointed to do—clean house at the FBI, restore integrity, and remove the partisan rot that’s plagued the Bureau for years. And that’s exactly why the establishment media can’t stand him.
This latest hoax wasn’t just a cheap smear—it was a desperate attempt to discredit a man who’s actually making a difference. And the fact they had to walk it back so quickly tells you everything you need to know about how threatened they really are.
