This is the first diary that I've written in over four years. Could you help me point out to CNN and Politico that Romney did say, "Let Detroit go bankrupt"? After the vice-presidential debate, those two news outlets were quick to rate Biden's charge that Mittens wanted to let Detroit go bankrupt as false. As they put it, Romney authored an op-ed, but it was the editors of the New York Times (those liberal bastards) who decided to title it "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". The only problem with that is that Romney DID say, "Let Detroit go bankrupt." In fact, he preceded his statement with, "That's exactly what I said." It was in an interview on one of the networks, and it's even in this Obama ad (45 seconds mark): http://www.youtube.com/...
Could you please join me and email CNN and Politico to point this out to them?
