I saw this tweet tonight and it punched me square in the face. Direct, to the point, and probably 100% accurate as we start to get final tallies across the country from last week’s election.

For those inclined to actually read their nonsensical posting, which I did, there is NO such mention of Speaker Boehner and his “hopes”. The facts of the story provide what all of us can see. Lots of “if this” and “if that”. The big problem here is that a lot of people don’t always read all the tweets they see, they just skim headlines. This is where this example of blatant misleading is truly destructive.
Someone must have gotten to the folks at National Journal, because they later added this “Correction” to the post online:

National Journal did send a correction tweet:
This is appalling. I noticed that the original tweet, which reads with the hideous, misleading word “hopes” is still there and has not been deleted. Why not just leave it up forever, right? That’s some good advertising for those guys; stir the hate, continue to mislead. They should be ashamed, but of course, they have no shame on the Left.
