Media Bias of The Day: Daily Mail Digs The Knife In

As you already know, yesterday we experienced two stabbing attacks, resulting in the murder of two Israelis.
We have already seen the US State Department spokesperson’s reaction. But they are not the only ones to kick us while we’re down.
The Daily Mail decided to respond to the terrorist attacks by moving Israel’s capital from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.
Thanks to Sussex Friends of Israel – who first noticed this doozy and brought it to the Daily Mail’s attention – the error has since been corrected.
The question is: was this a case of ignorance or deliberate misreporting (both unacceptable for a mainstream media outlet)?
Looking at the names of the reporters, I’m guessing option B.
