Hey, thanks for the "scoop". Isn't this, quite literally, old news? While MCB's issues have been a matter of public record for some time, what is particularly distressing about this article is the obvious bias with which it was written.

Certainly given the nature of Marco Community Bank's situation, one would imagine that there would be a significant, on-going internal transformation that might involve any number of facets within their business. I daresay that the bank began to address their problems long before this 'newsflash'. It is only stands to reason that whatever necessary actions MCB has implemented into their business practices won't magically appear overnight. Writing a piece that encourages knee-jerk reactions from otherwise uninformed account holders serves no one except those hungry for hollow hype.

Pehaps a more interesting piece for the paper might be one that is written from the perspective of offering fair, accurate, and current information with the opportunity for both sides to be represented without undue editing or bias. I think that's a primary lesson in Journalism 101.
