The Bain attacks must really have Romney worried: "Romney to seek Washington Post retraction"Last edited Wed Jun 27, 2012, 03:54 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Mitt Romney campaign representatives will meet with The Washington Post today to seek a formal retraction of its June 21 report that Bain Capital invested in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs, POLITICO has learned.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/06/romney-to-seek-retraction-from-washpost-127441.html I'd post more, but this is the result: "WashPost will not retract 'outsourcing' story" The Washington Post will not retract their June 21 report about Bain Capital's investments in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs, POLITICO has learned. "We are very confident in our reporting," Washington Post spokesperson Kris Coratti told POLITICO following a meeting between the Post's executive editor Marcus Brauchli and Mitt Romney campaign representatives, who had sought a retraction from the paper. The Romney campaign would not discuss the meeting. "It was an off the record private meeting so I don’t have anything for you on that," campaign press secretary Andrea Saul told POLITICO. http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/06/washpost-will-not-redact-outsourcing-story-127466.html
