Why Romney Couldn’t Convince The Washington Post To Retract Its Story About Bain Offshoring Jobs
By Pat Garofalo on Jun 27, 2012 at 4:24 pm

The Mitt Romney campaign met with editors of the Washington Post today in an attempt to get the paper to retract a story about how the private equity firm Bain Capital helped outsource jobs when Romney was its CEO. Initially, the campaign merely admonished the Post for not distinguishing between “outsourcing” and “offshoring,” but today it brought a set of slides in an attempt to refute the entire premise of the story.

However, the evidence that the campaign provided does not contradict the paper’s reporting, which was gleaned from documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Instead, the campaign’s document simply includes assertions from executives of the companies in which Bain invested, claiming that they did not outsource jobs.

<..> The Post is standing by its story.

I had seen where he was trying to get them to retract the story. Actually people were making fun of him by saying his bus was driving around WaPo honking.

Tough luck Willard, you did it.
