Fox News Recants False Story on Marine's Family Paying for Remains

Fox News has issued an apology for publishing a false news story claiming that the family of Marine Sgt Nicole Gee, who was killed in Afghanistan, had to pay $60,000 to transport her remains. The story, which cited Florida congressman Cory Mills, was later retracted after Mills appeared to walk back his claims. The Marine Corps wrote to Fox News executives to retract the story, stating that the family never had to pay. Fox News has since apologized to the Gee family, but the Marine Corps criticized the network for using the family's grief for clickbait.
