The Lie of Modern "Centrism"
#28
RE: The Lie of Modern "Centrism"
The media does not have a liberal bias. If there was any doubt of this, the Iraq War and the aftermath have proved it. It wasn't until 2006 before a reporter had the temerity to ask Bush about his lies in the runup to the war and there's been little to no investigation since. The mainstream media is owned by six major corporations. We get our news from sources that have a vested interest to provide the corporate spin.

Now, on to your article:

Quote:About 1,200 employees were let go just before Christmas when GM ended SUV production at the plant. Some 100 workers were retained to finish an order of small- to medium-duty trucks for Isuzu Motors.

The shut down was effectively in 2008. The later date you use in April was when a skeleton crew was left to finish out the jobs remaining. Not much to be done at this point except to save GM itself. The article goes on to say:

Quote:GM’s long-term future remains in doubt. Chief Executive Fritz Henderson said the automaker may file for bankruptcy if it can’t meet the strict requirements that came with $13.4 billion in government loans.

Of course, we know how that story ends. Obama saved the Detroit auto industry even if the Janesville plant never reopened. All the while, Romney said, "let it die". For Ryan to blame Obama for the Janesville plant closing is a lie.

Will get back to you on lie #2 when I get a chance to listen again...
