As for the New York Times, I've seen varying versions of the following picture.



I know there's some mitigating at the end of the first headline, but you're smart enough to know why that headline is effed up.

As for Tlaib, here's her original Tweet;

Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many… https://t.co/mZYoifT7bj

While the first headline is not technically misinformation as what they stated was accurate, taking Hamas' word for anything isn't smart and I would have suggested more qualifying language in the headline. That's just me.

As for Tlaib, the fact that she hasn't course corrected after our own government has stated that the likely source for the explosion was a misfired jihadist rocket is asinine. She should be derided for that. I understand being skeptical of Israeli statements; they are not known for being honest about the whole situation there. However, when you ignore our own intelligence agencies, well, now you're just in Trump territory. And I know Flynn was once head of the DIA and he had at least one-to-many TBIs that caused him to go a little off the rails (sorry, this is on my mind after a conversation I had this weekend with an analyst friend), but generally speaking our intelligence community is very good at what they do.
