"Let Them Go Bankrupt!"

I switched the channel this morning over to MSNBC for a little while to see how the other half thinks. I was immediately treated to a 'panel' of experts, all 4 of whom were staunchly democratic/ liberal in their opinions. No balance. Nothing from the other side. (For the critics of Fox News, you might take note of the fact that they almost always have both sides represented in a typical conversation.)

The one thing I do remember from the broadcast that stood out clearly was them perpetuating the lie that Mitt Romney said he wanted the auto industry to go bankrupt. They held up the newspaper with the headline "let them Go Bankrupt" and continued to say, over and over, that Mitt Romney said this thing. I am really sick and tired of this lie being spread by a media that has simply lost all credibility- I'm not simply talking about MSNBC, either. However, the subject of my current ire does rest on the narrow shoulders of an incompetent network who will do almost anything to ensure the current president is given the path of least resistance to the White House.
For anyone who is interested, I looked up the article in question and present it here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html

I also read the article, word for word, so that I could say without reservation that Mitt Romney never states, anywhere in this article, "let them go bankrupt." Instead, he shows how much of an economic genius he is by explaining how and why things need to change in Detroit. He also quoted the former head of the UAW, Walter Reuther, as saying, “Getting more and more pay for less and less work is a dead-end street.”

Please, anyone who still thinks Romney said this, take a few minutes to read this article. It says a lot about who he is and how desperate the liberals are.
