Misleading story is not really misleading
Link to story.
MSNBC tried to do an article about the Republicans getting sworn in to Congress today.
The subheading was misleading:
For the record, the House of Representatives was controlled by the Democrats since the 2006 elections (for which they were sworn in early January, 2007).
Simple math tells me 2011 - 2007 = 4.
Dems have been in control of the House of Representatives for four years - not the misleading two.
The misleading "two years" might be a reference to the past two years, when the House, Senate, and the President, were all Democratically controlled - but that was not stated in the article at the time I publish this.
