gotcha!

Gawker has posted 950 pages of financial information from Mitt Romney’s time at Bain Capital. While reporters at Gawker do not seem to have uncovered tax dodging or malpractice, writer John Cook is asking knowledgeable readers to examine the papers and report back in the comments, noting that the documents are “exceedingly complicated.” This is the largest collection of internal audits, financial statements, and private investor letters available to the public since Romney disclosed two years of tax returns in 2007.

“Some of these stories are ridiculous examples of ‘gotcha’ journalism that have nothing to do with anything the voters care about in this campaign.”
