This one is really hard to believe, even for the most biased so-called "news network" in the nation.
MSNBC on Tuesday totally trashed Republican presidential nominee Mitt

and commentary):
Yesterday,
Bloomberg News reported that Fiat "is considering building Chrysler
models in Italy, including Jeeps, for export to North America." Today, that news became real when company CEO Sergio Marchnionne announced, in Bloomberg's words (in paragraph 6, subtitled "Italy's Jeep"),
that it will "build a small Jeep in Italy for export beginning in 2014
... a new model for Europe and the U.S. that isn’t currently in
production."
Of course, today's Bloomberg report led with Marchionne's clever denial
about the company's plans for manufacturing in China: "Jeep production
will not be moved from the United States to China." No, he has instead
set the stage for newer Jeep models exported to the U.S. to gradually
supplant older models made in the U.S. over several years. This should
be an embarrassment to those who engineered the Obama administration's
bailout of Chrysler in 2009, ripping off secured creditors in the bankruptcy
process and thereby giving Fiat a larger initial share of the company
than it deserved. But don't worry, Colleen Barry at the Associated Press
is there with vague language to ensure that this news doesn't become general knowledge (bold is mine):
