Romney’s Campaign Demands Correction from Biased “PolitiFact”

The Romney campaign is none too happy with PolitiFact at the moment, issuing a blistering response to a recent fact checking item on a campaign talking point. As a response to Democrats’ “war on women” rehetoric, the presumed GOP presidential nominee’s press secretary pointed out that under Obama’s presidency, women account for 92.3 percent of the job losses. This kind of statement—a bold claim involving an actual statistic—is catnip to media fact checkers.

Romney’s Letter to “PolitiFact” demanding a correction for their biased “fact-check:”

“Putting aside the obvious problems with rating an accurate statement mostly false, your analysis in this instance was so inadequate that the piece ended up being little more than Obama for Americaspin. I hope you will consider the problems identified below, retract the piece, and replace it with one confirming the accuracy of what Ms. Saul said.

    obamacon machine is just getting started – constant barrage of big & little lies-twists-spin…. Mitt would be wise to adopt this Reagan tact and phrase from here on out… to marginalize & mock obamacon
