Oh, get over yourself. If they re-tweeted it immediately, then went to get more info on it, found out that it was false, and then apologized/deleted it, who cares? It came from a particularly reputable source, so simply clicking one "re-tweet" button does not a fire-able offense make.
I'm glad to know that you've never made an assumption based on authority, a minor mistake, or even taken a shortcut in your career, though.

I'm merely stating that my belief that as journalist, one is in a trusted position of power to disseminate news to the masses and with that power (excuse the cliche) comes responsibility. Blindly retweeting sensationalist things without fact checking is no better than shouting "Fire!" in a crowded building.
