and when i was a kid the detroit news was still in print and we used to get the detroit news in the detroit free press the free press was the business paper it had a business section they always editorialized for the republicans the detroit news was the labor paper it had a labor section didn't have a business section and they always editorialized in favor the democrats the days when every town in america had at least one newspaper that had a labor section and are gone in days when when you know. local television and radio even existed are gone and now we've got these large transnational corporations that basically run our media that in many cases themselves are not unionized or if they are or if they are they're only grudgingly and they certainly don't want to be talking about unions on the air do you see any possibility of breaking through that or have times changed so much that there is now is systemic wall to prevent what your grandfather and his brothers did you know are you right i mean i think that the brothers in the u.a.w. at that time had a tremendous spin machine too i mea

one is the detroit news of romney. romney 's right to say -- they criticized his policies and supported obama's policies. on the issue of the auto bailout, they supported obama. >> okay. so once again, there's truth in both ads. >> yeah. it's complicated. >> it is . i guess in many of these ads, they are stretching the truth or leaving out key facts. they are not necessarily out right lies. >> right. that's the big thing thing. you are not getting the full context. >> okay. let's go to another ad. this is going to be pro romney. this one is getting a lot of play. a woman says she went on the internet to find out what romney's views were. >> those ads say mitt romney would ban all abortions and contraceptions seemed extreme. i looked into it. turns out romney doesn't oppose contraception at all. he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest or to save a mother's life. >> she goes on to say that besides for her it's really all about the economy. talk to me about this. is there truth in here? >> this ad

a detroit news/wdiv poll shows president obama leading 48% to 45%, which is within the poll's 3.78 marginbut a new "detroit free press"/wxyz poll has president obama leading by six points, 48% to 42%. now, half of those polled said that the rescue of gm and chrysler was a deciding factor in their support and 2/3 of those people backed president obama. robert reich, it seems like michigan voters have figured out who they want to give credit to for the auto bailout. >> yes, they have. although romney and ryan are doing everything they possibly can, lawrence, to confuse voters, to dissemble, to claim credit for the bailout, to actually say, believe it or not, and unfortunately some people believe big lies when they're told over and over again, that romney was in favor of the bailout and that somehow, by some stretch of the imagination the president is responsible for shrinking chrysler and shrinking gm and sending the jobs out to china. that's actually what they are saying right now. i mean, it takes lies to a new height of prevarication. >> let's listen to the help president obama's getting

the truth mitt romney has a plan to help the auto industry he's supported by lee iacocca and the detroit news obama took g.m. and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italian so we're going to build jeeps in china mitt romney will fight for every american job by mitt romney and i approve this message the only problem with this ad is it's one hundred percent false even the c.e.o. of chrysler felt compelled to rebut the ad saying jeep production will not be moved from the united states to china it is inaccurate to suggest anything different the statement came after a group of jeep employees went to the union reps freaking out that they were going to lose their jobs g.m. responded he had to say in at the state we're looking at a telescope to link distances between campaign ads and reality is this blatantly false ad part of mitt romney's strategy for regaining support from american auto workers and if so. how does all his lying going to work for him now i think the c.e.o. of g.m. has got this all wrong because the jeep liberty from what i understand is sixty eight percent manufactured in

he is supported by lee iacocca and the detroit news. nd chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians that are going to build jeeps in china. >> romney's new ad running in ohio claims that president obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy. interesting. because romney preferred a managed bankruptcy for the car companies. he claimed that jeeps are going to be built in china by italians. the ceo of chrysler found that whopper too much to bear and issued a statement to say, . >> who will be best for the auto industry? it may not be the guy whose car ad is full of holes. joining me from detroit is jonathan cone. >> thanks for having me on. when we talk cars, i get out my transformers and have this whole thing about president obama being optimist prime. is the car issues going to be the thing that turns ohio voters? >> it is a huge issue. in ohio, 1 of every 8 jobs is tied to the auto industry. the voters there, they understand how important the auto rescue, the obama's decision to provide chrysler and g.m. loans. they know how imp

obama is leading 48-45 according to the detroit news.ing to epic--is that your poll. >> that's a poll i took earlier today. six-point poll. >> cenk: and not michael's poll. 48-42, six-point lead. when you go to wisconsin 51-43 and 51-43. that's marquette. >> that just came out. that's a poll that a lot of journalists in wisconsin--i just talked to someone in wisconsin lee berquist said we're all waiting for that poll. that poll is definitive. >> cenk: so wisconsin looks to be solidly in obama's camp. iowa is critical swing state. north carolina, we even have a tie--come on, come on! >> what you're saying, why not go to michigan? why not go to pennsylvania. >> cenk: you're going to lose any way. you can go anywhere you like. >> they should spend the money. >> cenk: here is where mitt romney is going in six days. home. >> which one. >> cenk: the one with the car elevator. all right, guys, when we come back different topic for you. incredibly worst thing happened at my house. at 4:30 in the morning we had a guy who broke into my house. did

bureau chief of the detroit news. welcome to you both inside "the war room." >> thanks, governor. >> thanks for having me. >> jennifer: amy let me start with you. the actual number of electric plug-in cars sold here as a percentage of the overall sales is very small. but talk about whether it is considered at least rapidly growing. >> i think it is all relative and it is growing. and it is growing substantially from where it was in say 2011 to where it is poised to be in 2012 after the next month when we see the final sales in december. it went from 2.23% in 2011, total car sales to right now it is at 3.3%. so it is going up. still a very small piece of the pie. i think that's what you need to remember that you need to keep this in perspective. one interesting dynamic is that a lot of the competition among the electric cars and the hybrids are actually each other. as opposed to traditional gasoline cars. >> jennifer: that's an important fact. and i think that a lot of that has to do with the number of factors. david,

he is ooh ported by lee iacocca and the detroit news. obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who are going to build jeeps in china. megyn: joining me now, stu varney. they say -- first let's start with obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy. >> and sold chrysler to the italians who are going to build -- megyn: stop there, took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold eye chrysler to the italians, true or false. >> true, yes. megyn: sold it to the italians who are going to build jeeps in china. they are going to build jeeps in china. >> yes, confirmed today by the ceo of chrysler. he said in a statement, chrysler is interested in expanding its customer base which can only be done by establishing local production. he goes onto say we intend to return jeep production to china. that is from the ceo today of chrysler. the ad is accurate. the italians, they own chrysler, they are going to build jeeps in china what chrysler is not going to do is move u.s. jeep production jobs out of america and go to china.

the poll is from the detroit news. it finds obama leading romney 47-45%. that is the second poll in the week that has shown a tight race in michigan. >> it's not too late to turn this around. we can save medicare and social security. we can cut spending to get this budget balanced and pay off this debt. we can get people out of poverty and back to the middle-class. we can get america back on the right track and give our kids a debt free future. >> so ask yourself, who do you trust to be straight with you, to level with you. who do you trust to stand up for the middle-class and measuring? ladies and gentlemen, we are not. these guys, we are not in decline. they are in denial. >> you got fundamentals in this race. one of the fundamentals is the economy is horrible. you have the tea party that arisen since 2010. you have romney momentum. you've got people, people decided that obama is incompetent. he can't run on anything. those are serious fundamentals. >> when we get to election day, people who are genuinely independent i think are going to break slightly o

christian science monitor once a week, "detroit news", cleveland plain, but "newsweek" saying we're just going to do it on-line that is happening it in the print world. not just in newspapers and magazines but obviously books, which is one of the questions why at some point there is at least the question mark where they will be able to continue publishing bound books. >> well, kind of come back though to socially what role books play. you know, sort of this cultural significance of the quote literary author, it really matters to a relatively small number of people. you know it's an elitist thing. there is popular fiction. there is serious nonfiction. you know, which is really in the same category as serious reporting of all kinds. >> you used this phrase elitist twice in this conversation watch. dow mean by that? >> what i mean is the notion by some group that their favorite activity is so important that it needs to be protected. >> what if it were defined differently as a group that says this is part of what you talked about earlier, of preserving the culture. >> i would say that the cu

even the detroit news criticized him for his wrongheadedness on the bailout. chrysler has refuted romney's lie. jeep is adding jobs in ohio. mitt romney on the ohio jobs, wrgont then. dishonest now. host: we are talking to mark naymik, a political reporter with the cleveland "plain dealer." steve is on the democratic line. caller: my call is concerning green energy and is a question for mark. supposedly, germany, 43% of their energy comes from solar energy. i was just wondering why are people so against green energy when it it could dramatically change our cause prices on so much like electricity and everything else. that is my question. guest: thanks for the question. i don't know the numbers in germany. it sounds high to me. green energy is expensive because we do not have the technology right now i think to certainly -- let's talk about wind power. it is very expensive to have the idea of wind power because you can still generate that energy much cheaper using coal. as we invest more and produce more here in ohio or elsewhere in the country, green energy co

maybe that's why detroit news endorsed him saying romney understands the industry and will shield it ho never tire of churning out new layers of mandates. mitt romney. he'll stand up for the auto industry. in ohio, not china. >> bill: probably the most dishonest, most cynical most outright blatantly untrue political ad that's ever been produced and right here in the very last week of the campaign. g.m. came out and said big fat lie! chrysler came out and called it crass and misleading. another big fat lie. the truth is they are back in ohio and in indiana and michigan and other states. the truth is they are building better cars and selling more cars. the truth is without taking any jobs away from ohio or other nearby states, g.m. and chrysler both have plans to build new plants, different plants, totally different plants in china to manufacture jeeps for chinese customers. that's part of their business plan. that's not taking jobs away from this country. again, g.m. has said pull down the ad. it is a lie. chrysler has said pull down the ad. it is a lie. the romney campaign said don't

for romney, the tampa tribune, the tennessean, and the detroit news. of other smaller newspapers, too, and several major newspapers that endorse president obama in 2008, now support governor romney. the florida sun sentinel and fort worth star telegraph along with the new york daily news and the houston chronicle. and that seems to me like there's a split here between the big name establishment big city papers and smaller towns. obama-romney? >> essentially what you're seeing the wisconsin state journal also now endorsing romney, basically saying this is now president obama's economy. he only had two signature pieces of legislation that may have hung up the economy, that being dodd-frank and obamacare. so, you know, is that the way to go for the next four years. stuart: interesting. >> what the papers are interesting. stuart: that's interesting. charles: i'm telling you that new york daily news endorsement and i read that thing, amazing because it focused specifically on new york and new york city and you hadn't it heard this a lot of people live in th
