Congratulations on being such an amazing investigative reporter! Last week’s article “Former Overton Bank Manager Accused of Embezzlement” (Progress: Jan. 4, 2012) embodies such an amazing and impartial view point of the actual story, I was in awe. Too bad the “accused party” or even her lawyer was not quoted as even saying “no comment”. Yet you quoted as well as built your story on a statement and accusation from one of the most corrupt banks of today.

Report your story…BUT report from BOTH sides, not just one. You not only added fuel to a fire in a small town, but you are on your way to becoming as reputable as the National Enquirer.
