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

It is not going to change anyone's mind or opinions.  The Arab world is not reading the New York Times for breaking news.  The NYT reported the story based on what was known at the time and even pointed out who claimed it. Subsequent reporting updated the story.  That's how breaking news works in this day and age.  

 Luvnit's point was mainstream media fanned the flames by deliberately lying and how dare they do that. 

Yeah, Luvint seemed, or wanted, to think that Tlaib was a cause of all that ME rioting.

I too am curious as to why the sudden outrage over "misinformation" which, unlike that on the most popular cable news show,
was quickly corrected. And why is someone who in the past has been so susceptible to it is suddenly choosing that hill to die on.
That's a question about how US politics are invested in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Within the US balance of political forces, why
does that conflict so often create such fear of tipped balance and/or a surge opportunistic propaganda?

Luvnit's post seems prompted by worry about Israel's "reputation," hence his inflating the possible damage thereto. 
On the most popular US cable channel, referencing the occupation isn't just anti-semitism; it is "supporting Hamas."

Absence of information, over decades, is a kind of disinformation as well.
