The Boston Globe will not be issuing a correction to its report on Mitt Romney’s departure from Bain Capital, according to Politico. The Romney campaign formally demanded a retraction earlier today, maintaining Romney was CEO in name only, delegating all day-to-day operations to 26 managing directors at the firm from February 1999 on.
“We received your request late this afternoon for a correction regarding this morning’s Globe story,” wrote Globe editor Martin Baron to Romney communication director Gail Gitcho. “Having carefully reviewed that request, we see no basis for publishing a correction. The Globe story was entirely accurate.”
