Issues with Ben Alders reporting in https://news.yahoo.com/republican-controlled-states-have-higher-murder-rates-than-democratic-ones-study-212137750.html

He cites PA as having a 39% increase in crime. This implies PA is ruled by Republicans and that PA cities are ruled by Republicans. Fact is our PA Governor is Democrat, the two largest cities Pittsburg and Philadelphia are ruled by Democrats. This is a rather large error in reporting and unfortunately requires a discounting of any and all "facts" furthered by your reporter. Dave Alder is listed as a senior editor, who is responsible for fact checking senior editors. Do better Yahoo.
