The "Houthi" terminology is straight from US DOD & CIA propaganda book. Its the term they use ....because they dont want to sall them Ansar Allah - they dont want anyone to ask questions about WHO are these people, what do they believe in, how do they behave? No we just get propagdana "Houthi rebels".
And the main stream media dont even have journalists anymore with regional or subject matter expertise to determine what the appropriate terms are or what are these people doing. And if they had them they still wouldnt care.
So what's in the "news" is basically govt propagdana sheets, with zero filter.
Its the same playbook by which the US govt refers to anyone they dont like as a "regime" and the media just parrot the term.
