    Reminds me of the time the Washington Post said Bernie was being misleading when he made a statement they agreed was true:

    “Millions of Americans are forced to work two or three jobs just to survive.”

    — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

    Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that nearly 8 million people hold more than one job. But most of those extra jobs are part time, not full time. And the “millions” of people amount to just 5 percent of Americans with jobs. So that means 95 percent of workers are not working two or three jobs “just to survive,” making this a misleading statement.
