Trump and Pence, she is 3rd in line not second

My first thought as well, however, I checked the wording of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, and it assumes that both President and VP are incapacitated, thus making the Speaker second.

Quibbling, I suppose, but the “journalist” can’t really be faulted on this one.

n Act To provide for the performance of the duties of the office of President in case of the removal, resignation, death, or inability both of the President and Vice President.

No. The House Speaker IS second in line. The VP is first in line.
