(53,661 posts)MSM, maybe we can call it Mitt's Sell-Out Media, WILL NOT cover this. It is the reason no working person, despite religion or any other views, should vote for this man. This is the future of our children and grandchildren that is being lost here, and the profits going overseas.
Note that those on the verge of retirement will not get any... More poverty, more disenfranchisement, more misery. A vote for Mittens is a vote for misery for Americans and more profit for the plutocrats.
Like the way things are done in China? Coming to your town, sooner than you think, if Romney/Ryan are allowed to take over.

To everyone tweeting me about #sensata: we're going to be covering it next weekend, when we have a former worker from the company booked
This is good! But we don't want to wait a week. Keep the pressure on!

(12,629 posts)Workers at #Sensata, a plant that's being outsourced by Bain to China are tweeting under @SaveSensataJobs. Romney isn't following them...

(89 posts)Once Huffington Post broke the 47% video the other news outlets started to follow given the reaction. Mind you, the 47% story was jucier with better footage and a headline that demanded attention since it was a "secret recording" but there is legitimate red meat here for people to chew on if Huffington Post (and other outlets) focus on the following 5 facts which make this story unique from past Bain stories.
1) Romney is a 51% owner of Sensata. Mainstream media has tired of Bain stories because the counter argument is often than Romney doesn't work there any more and they think the average person won't care anymore about Bain either but this is current and this particular company Romney does have a majority share in.
2) Mitt Romney is a majority shareholder in a company that recently asked American workers to train their Chinese workers and removed American flags during training. Mitt Romney is simultaneously talking about being a job creator and about being tough on China.
3) These people are being laid off the day before election day.
4) The workers are non-union so it's not like union negotiations caused this at all.
5) The workers have declared the area Bainport and there are some great photos that would make for good news imagry.
When writing Huffington Post about this story be sure to touch on those 5 facts. There's a current story that deserves to go national here when all 5 facts are taken into consideration.

Keep #Sensata trending. We don't have journalism anymore. We only have ourselves

Twitter is on on fire! Wanna help? Get a Twitter account, takes 5 seconds Twitter.com. Send Tweets using #Bainport, #Sensata. To make a Trend, it's not how many times it is sent. Otherwise one person could send a gazillion and artificially make a Trend. Trends are only made from diverse and different accounts, from different geographic positions, and different people (like YOU).
Remember, the 47% story started as a little Tweet!

#Sensata Romney critical of PBO for not cracking down on Romney outsourcing jobs.
