I see nothing misleading in the article...it stated yields on funds are dropping, and discussed the possiblity of negative yields, which is the same as breaking the buck in my book.

The article says,

'...Money funds are designed to maintain a constant $1 share value -- falling below that, because the yield has turned negative, is known as "breaking the buck." '

Doesn't sound too misleading to me.
