Gawd.
Not THIS lie again.
Its a sure bet they won't blame a democrat...That's completely off limits..
Gawd.
Not THIS lie again.
Not a total lie, but the confusion comes from the usual semantic bullshit. Jeep is not considering moving production from the US to China, but they are considering opening new production in China.
There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach.
On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the Bloomberg News report “Fiat Says Jeep® Output May Return to China as Demand Rises” stated “Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley (President and CEO of the Jeep brand) referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.”
Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats.
Let’s set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation. A careful and unbiased reading of the Bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.
The Truth
Last week Romney said in a speech in Defiance, Ohio, that Jeep's parent company Chrysler "is thinking of moving all production to China." Chrysler quickly shot down that assertion, nothing that not only was the claim false, but that the company was actually adding new jobs in Toledo as a part of a $500 million investment in its factory there.
The China report that Romney cited from Bloomberg specifically referred to expanding Jeep operations within China that already cater to the Asian market, but no where did it discuss any kind of movement of resources from the state of Ohio.
From the original Bloomberg article:
[CEO] Manley referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.
Explicitly, unequivocally stated in the original piece that was used to start the lie. No confusion, no vagary, no 'semantics'. Just Romney and the GOP and every rightwing nutcase on the planet LYING.
