Have a quick read, even if you are tired of the subject. This is different from the other stuff.

I think reporters/journalists should speak accurately when they characterize a presidential act

I think reporters/journalists should provide correct information if a source says something that is untrue

Finally, I think reporters/journalists should CORRECT their mistakes.

My heartburn with the reporting this week is more with the "23 executive orders" than the confusion of three memoranda which were presented as executive orders. But a memorandum is NOT an executive order; it doesn't have a filing number (which means not easily counted) and it doesn't have to be filed in the Federal Register. Although there is a legal opinion from 2000 equating their effectiveness, they ain't the same animal.
