Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his campaign have
issued a strongly worded written challenge to the Washington Post
refuting claims in its June 21
article that Bain Capital outsourced jobs while Romney was there.
On Thursday, the Post's Jennifer Rubin
published some excerpts:
The article details companies that had facilities
overseas, but it never provides an example in which American jobs were
moved overseas. The headline implies that, while under Bain’s control,
the six companies addressed in the article laid off Americans and sent
the jobs offshore; but the article itself never provides an example of
that occurring. The headline makes a claim that the article never
substantiates.
Of note, this article did not quote a single human source. Had the Post
contacted individuals affiliated with these companies, as is common in
journalism, it would have learned that this is rife with inaccuracies
and fails to live up to the Post’s investigative legacy. [Romney for
President] has confirmed the analysis below with company officials.

No firms identified in this article relocated jobs done by American
workers to any international locations during the period of time where
(a) Romney was at Bain Capital (1984 – Feb. 1999) and (b) Bain Capital
owned interests in the companies (hereinafter, the “Romney Era”).
This article addresses China when discussing Bain’s investments in GT
Bicycles, Modus, and ChipPac. As established below, no American jobs
were relocated to China during the Romney Era by any of these companies.
