The Huffington Post deleted a tweet accompanied by a picture of former One Direction singer Zayn Malik that they thought might be misleading, and later explained why:

We apologize for the original image here. Zayn Malik is mentioned in the story, but is obviously not part of ISIS. pic.twitter.com/CzEaDwxs3y

However, HuffPo’s apology didn’t spare them a ribbing from Iowahawk:
