Is it OK for NYT, CNN and squad members to report misinformation

Maybe some of retracted, but I don't know if they have. The Anti-Israel No Matter What crowd believes it was Israel, and digging in even deeper. So the damage is done, and for many they will regard contradictory evidence as nothing more than lies and Zionist propaganda.

Anyways not long after it happened I said just wait for the evidence since Hamas are Islamic jihadist terrorists after all. And by evidence I mean the dozens of satellites hovering way up above recording every millisecond of what every square inch of Gaza. Once our fine folks from CIA and the military went through all the video data, they knew pretty quick it didn't come from Israel I am assuming. So myself I am going to believe them over over those that support the Jihadists. Unfortunately though the initial misinformation/propaganda narrative is enough proof for many out there.

For some out there, they will not believe the American narrative on it because they see the US as complicit in Israeli hostilities. Israel has a history of lying to hide their human rights violations and the US is seen as a co-conspirator to those actions by many in the region.

Now, who caused the explosion, I have no idea. However, the assessment of the blast area definitely does not point to an air strike but a ground based explosion. So there is that.
