This is just the last 33 days, a fake or dishonest news story or headline per day.

1 — Politico reported that a company overseen by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin had foreclosed on a 90-year-old woman due to a 27-cent payment error. The Competitive Enterprise Institute determined that there was no foreclosure and a different company was involved.

2 — CNN reported that Nancy Sinatra was "not happy" at Trump's first inaugural dance to her dad's "My Way." She reacted, "I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?"

3 — The New York Times and others reported that on Inauguration Day, Trump's team scrubbed climate change and references to LGBT from the White House website. Actually, there was a broadcasted plan to shift the Obama website to a different site and that the Trump team would use a skeleton site for the first few days.

4 — The Washington Post hit Trump for giving a speech in front of the "sacrosanct" CIA Memorial Wall. It didn't mention that Obama had done the same thing.

5 — CBS, reporting on the same event, said that the applause for Trump came from the first three rows of guests, stacked with Trump campaign and White House aides. In an embarrassing pushback, Spicer at a subsequent press briefing said there were no aides in the first four rows, and showed pictures of them standing in the back.

6 — A Time reporter tweeted that Trump removed the Martin Luther King Jr. bust from Oval office. The reporter soon had to retract the tweet as false.

7 — Several outlets reported that a firing bloodbath was taking place inside the top ranks of State. Virtually all who left were Obama political hires leaving for obvious reasons.

8 — Several outlets reported that Team Trump issued a "gag order" on the EPA and other agencies. In fact, the memo asking them to refrain from tweeting and issuing news releases is standard operating procedure between administrations.

9 — His immigration order was hit for not targeting terror-sponsoring nations where Trump had business interests, denied by the White House. The countries were the same targeted by former President Obama and his DHS. Of the over 100 other Muslim countries not on the travel ban list, Trump has done business in only 2 and has no existing ties to any at this moment.

10 — The AP reported that Donald Trump's voter fraud expert was registered to vote in three states. He was registered in only one.

11 — CNN reported that Trump's runner-up for the Supreme Court came to Washington as a decoy. They caught him at a gas station near Pittsburgh. Turns out he was just touring with his family and not even heading towards D.C.

12 — CBS New York said that first lady Melania Trump and son Barron might never move to the White House. They plan to move to Washington when he finishes school.

13 — Reports said that Trump demoted Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford in a national security council reorganization. Trump actually reverted to George W. Bush's set up for the principals committee which said the JCS should join when issues impacting him were to be discussed.

14 — TMZ and BET reported that Trump had renamed "Black History Month" to "African American History Month," considered a slight. But other presidents, notably former President Clinton and Obama, had used "National African American History Month" too.

15 — Many media outlets described the president's immigration orders as a "Muslim ban." It targeted anybody from seven nations, including Christians, not just Muslims.

16 — The Washington Post's Josh Rogin said chief White House strategist Steve Bannon pushed Department of Homeland Security secretary John Kelly to not issue a waiver for green card holders from Trump's immigration orders. This is patently false.

17 — The New York Times reported that Trump's staff bumbles around in the dark in the Cabinet room because they can't find the light switch. This is patently false.

18 — NYT reported that Trump hangs out in the early evening in a bathrobe watching TV. The President doesn't own a bathrobe.

19 — CNN tweeted that Sean Spicer received from staffers several Super Soakers after Melissa McCarthy's impression of him on Saturday Night Live. This is patently false.

20 — The New York Times reported that Trump had not talked with Chinese President Xi Jinping since Nov. 14, drawing an angry Trump tweet. The story published right after Trump had spokesmen with Xi.

21 — Longtime Hillary Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal wrote up a story in the London Review of Books about a racist political ad by Trump's father. It was widely spread in mainstream media social accounts. It was a fake.

22 — Reports said that a Muslim-American Olympic female athlete was detained at an airport under Trump's immigration orders. She was briefly detained in December under former President Obama's policies.

23 — Several reports said that Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe discussed classified info at dinner table at Mar-a-Largo. They were discussing press conference plans for the next day. The President also took a call from WH advisors that did not discuss classified materials.

24 — Most mainstream media outlets have sneered that there was little or no voter fraud in the election. But a university analysis and separate poll indicated that 2 million "non-citizen" immigrants may have voted.

25 — The Wall Street Journal reported that intelligence officials were keeping information from Trump to make sure it wouldn't be compromised. This is patently false.

26 — NBC and others said that 10 members of an Asian American Council quit in protest over Trump policies. They were all Obama appointees with terms set to expire.

27 — MSNBC said that Trump's choice to replace ousted national security director Mike Flynn declined the job because he didn't get staff control and saw something he didn't like at the president's East Room press conference last week. In fact, Adm. Robert Harward cited family and financial issues and offered to come in at a later time.

28 — The Associated Press reported that the president planned to mobilize the National Guard to remove illegal immigrants. This is patently false.

29 — CBS tweeted that Trump's Navy secretary-designate planned to withdraw. He did not.

30 — The New York Daily News reported that Trump domestic policy adviser Stephen Miller called Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Robert Capers at home to explain how to defend the immigration executive order in court. They did not ever speak.

31 — It has widely been reported that Team Trump coordinated with Russian intelligence during the campaign. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said U.S. intelligence authorized him to say this never happened.

32 — Crowd size reports of a February anti-Trump protest in London ranged from 300,000 to 2,000. The Hill started at "hundreds of thousands" and the final story update was 7,000, confirmed by British news.

33 — CNN accused White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus of "Asking the FBI to knock down Trump-Russian stories". Fact is the FBI told Mr. Priebus the NYT article claiming Team Trump coordinated with Russian intelligence was false and Mr. Priebus asked the FBI to notify the media of this news. However the FBI was forced to decline due to procedure during an ongoing investigation.

About what? How the media should defend the media?

You think they're having high-minded discussions about ethics and truth when journalists are pitching stories to editors, or are the editors mostly worried about ratings / sales / clicks?

You can disagree with Trump and still recognize the horrendous state of American journalism at the moment.

love you guys equate not allowing a couple of outlets into a setting with a zillion others, where the number of outlets included is always limited because of space, "fascism"

You have rendered "fascism" as meaningless and irrelevant a term as "racism"

Shep seems to be angling for a network change. Must imagine bigger and better things await him at CNN.

Because as far as the OP story is concerned, Shep appears satisfied to fake a little news himself.
