She updates this list on a rolling basis.  If you actually read all of them, it's pretty breathtaking how much the media not only makes "mistakes" when reporting negative news about President Trump, but outright lies.

(Out of chronological order because it just came to my attention.)

MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace falsely claims that President Trump had talked about “exterminating Latinos.” She apologized the next day.

@NicolleDWallace
I misspoke about Trump calling for an extermination of Latinos.  My mistake was unintentional and I’m sorry. Trump’s constant assault on people of color and his use of the word “invasion” to describe the flow of immigrants is intentional and constant.

Yeah, that's good stuff.  I predict it'll be up to 140 come November 2020.

Ken Vogel of the New York Times corrects a story that falsely claimed Trump adviser Paul Manafort had wanted to share polling data with a Russian oligarch close to President Putin.

Replying to @kenvogel
CORRECTION: PAUL MANAFORT asked KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK to pass TRUMP polling to the Ukrainian oligarchs SERHIY LYOVOCHKIN & RINAT AKHMETOV, & not to OLEG DERIPASKA, as originally reported. We have corrected the story & I deleted a tweet repeating the error. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/politics/manafort-trump-campaign-data-kilimnik.html

Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager, was convicted last year of 10 felonies.
Manafort Accused of Sharing Trump Polling Data With Russian Associate
The accusations that Paul Manafort shared polling data were inadvertently revealed in a court filing by his lawyers. The associate, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, had links to Russian intelligence.

@BenjaminNorton
The NY Times just quietly issued a major correction to its "explosive" Manafort report.

This is a huge error that makes the "bombshell" story significantly less important.

Once again, the corporate media shows its low standards.

The New York Times corrects a report it published to demonstrate how people who voted for Donald Trump no longer support him. Their featured example was a man who– it turns out– never voted for Trump in the first place.

So the guy from Pennsylvania who said he voted for Trump and now regrets it..

didn’t actually vote for Trump.

Mark Graham, who Democrats are putting in campaign ads against the president..
