Washington Post Rebuffs Romney on Retraction
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Mitt Romney’s campaign demanded — but did not receive — a retraction on Wednesday from The Washington Post for an article alleging that during Mr. Romney’s tenure, Bain Capital invested in companies that pioneered the practice of sending jobs out of the country.

Armed with a PowerPoint presentation trying to rebut the allegations, a top aide to Mr. Romney met with Post editors Wednesday, seeking a retraction of the article, which focused on six companies that Bain Capital invested in while Mr. Romney was at the helm of the firm. Those familiar with the meeting said Gail Gitcho, Mr. Romney’s communication’s director, attended for the campaign.

Kris Coratti, a spokeswoman for The Washington Post, declined to discuss the meeting in detail, saying it was considered “private.” But she said that “we are very confident in our reporting.” Eight reporters and editors from The Post participated in the meeting, including Tom Hamburger, who wrote the article.

The intensity of Mr. Romney’s reaction to the Post article suggests that the campaign believes the attacks could be effective in portraying him as a business executive who allowed American jobs to be lost to other nations.
