Outrage is justified.

Your precise wording was: "and outrageous if they are not and allowed
to write". The outrage in that statement seems to be directed equally
at the falsity (if the report was false) and at the journalist being
"allowed to write".
Naomi Klein is a fairly respected writer among the Left in the US. And
the article you referred to was an opinion piece. Even if Naomi's
opinion was misled or wrong (one cannot have false opinions, merely
wrong-headed ones), I think she deserves being "allowed to write".
