Detroit editor criticizes Romney for selective editing of endorsement, criticism of bailout

http://thehill.com/blogs/transportation-report/automobiles/212133-detroit-newspaper-endorses-romney-but-criticizes-his-stance-on-auto-bailouts

A Detroit newspaper editor is criticizing Mitt Romney's campaign for its selective editing of the paper's endorsement.

Romney highlighted the endorsement from the Detroit News in a press release but left out the newspaper's criticism of Romney's opposition to the auto bailout.

“They should have run the complete, original version,” Detroit News Editorial Page editor Nolan Finley said in an interview Thursday evening with media critic Jim Romensko. “It’s a bit inappropriate to edit out the mild criticism.”

The criticism from Finley was circulated in an e-mail to supporters Thursday by the Democratic National Committee.
