NewsbustersNewsbusters, CBS Face the Nation anchor Bob Schieffer, is a great journalist with a long career and laminated. But following his admission that the story did not mention Black Panther because he was “on vacation” and did not know anything about him, took to a comment from yesterday to scold the “new media” to the story of Shirley Sherrod.

The whole show really took on the issue of race. There was a discussion of the history Sherrod, media and a panel on race and history that Black Panther Schieffer did not ask the Attorney General Eric Holder a couple of weeks (NewsBusters thought the panel was not balanced).

But the comment Schieffer took Andrew Breitbart and “new media.” “I am old Media with a capital O. proud of her, in fact,” Schieffer said. “And yes, they operate differently than other new media and again I stress some.”

One such difference, Schieffer said, is that the old media can make mistakes, but not on purpose. Old media “[s call] people involved in a story to get his side”, while new media probably does not. Then Schieffer got the story wrong in the Shirley Sherrod timeline.

A blogger with an agenda-partisan way – not a journalist – to the heavily edited, totally out of context, now infamous sound bite from Shirley Sherrod online. Some of the popular cable picked up the story, and demanded the overthrow of the woman.

No calls to those affected, without control of any kind – just throw it out there and leaving women to defend themselves.

What does’ folk are talking about requiring cable overthrow of the woman? Because the only person who did was Bill O’Reilly, and until air until after she had already resigned. And if Schieffer had bothered to call those involved, before throwing it out there, know that O’Reilly show contacted the USDA on Monday afternoon and got no response.

This, the anchor who admits he would have asked the owner about the Black Panther case if he knew, but was on vacation (sounds very good indeed!) And, you know, not really had a lot of publicity. I wonder why. Maybe it’s because the old media is going on vacation and stick to their usual sources of Old Media to prepare for an interview, while new media is busy covering, just and comprehensive, the stories of many others in America are curious known. “If you just make a call from time to time to see these things before putting it on the web, you could save us all a lot of problems,” Schieffer said.

We disagree. The same is true for CBS News.

State Employees Credit UnionState Employees Credit Union, [Fontanaheraldnews] The federal agency that took control of the Inland Empire-based Arrowhead Credit Union on Thursday provided new information on the declining financial condition of the credit union.

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), in his role as curator, Arrowhead Credit Union launched second quarter of the hotline, the detailed financial statements issued for each credit union federally insured. This report corrected previous mistakes by the previous address and showed a continued decline in the financial situation of the credit union as a result of losses in its loan portfolio, according to the NCUA.

net rate of value arrowhead declined to 3.00 percent on June 30, from the level of 3.36 percent reported on 31 March. According to the rules in the Federal Credit Union, Arrowhead is “significantly capitalized” for fourth consecutive quarter.

Moreover, accurate calculations loan financial loss as a result of negative net income to 30 June and 1.45389 million. The assets have declined about 67 million from 31 March, and loans have declined by about 40 million in the same period, the NCUA, said.

The financial results are available on the NCUA Web site, Financial Performance Report section, available online by inserting the name of the credit union in http://cuonline.ncua.gov/CreditUnionOnline/CU/FindCreditUnions.aspx . Then click on the financial report and follow the instructions.

On Friday, the firing of 27 employees were released Arrowhead. This adds up to four directors of the credit union who were dismissed earlier.

It was placed in the arrowhead protection by the NCUA on 25 June in an effort to protect members arrowhead given the status of credit in financial collapse. The credit union has continued to serve its members as NCUA has worked to stabilize the operations of the institution.

The NCUA said that Arrowhead had published inaccurate information distorting the true financial condition of the institution. In particular, loan loss reserve account was not funded adequately in the first quarter 2010 financial report. The corrected statement arrowhead indicates the reserve for loan losses increased from 49,520,278 Central and 31 March to 53,583,827 and 30 June. The costs associated with the loss of reserves has increased from 6,065,159 to 31 March to 18,920,542 years and updated.

The 12 million increase in expenditures is the result of the financing of the reserve account for loan losses in accordance with the methodology adopted by the external review of the CPA Credit Union in October 2009. In March, the NCUA, said the previous management did not comply with the approved methodology, thereby underestimating the amount of misrepresented expenses and revenues recognized. The revised funding has eliminated all the gains previously shown incorrectly by the previous management team, revealing a loss of Arrowhead and 1.4 million years to date.

As part of the review of records arrowhead NCUA, NCUA determined that the former management team of the arrowhead was not paid off loan losses in a timely and consistent, and that the record of ratios do not always reflect the losses real credit union was experiencing. In addition, the previous management team decided to review the methodology of reserves for loan losses less than six months after it was reviewed by an external auditor, thereby reducing the amount of funds needed for known and potential losses. If the management of the Central arrowhead acted in accordance with the approved methodology and validated, the losses have increased and earnings have shown a positive trend from 31 March, said the NCUA.

Since mid-2009, was required by the arrowhead NCUA to submit a plan acceptable net worth restoration. In four attempts, the former management was unable to produce a plan based on reasonable assumptions and showed positive earnings that would restore equity, despite specific guidance from federal regulators and state weaknesses in their plans submitted.

Despite instructions, information and guidance, both the Department of Financial Institutions and NCUA, former leaders Central arrowhead does not properly identify and monitor loan modifications to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and provided aid or assistance to members, said the NCUA.

The four former employees of the arrowhead that were dismissed by the NCUA is CEO Larry Sharp, Daniel Marciante, chief financial officer; Gene Shabinaw, senior vice president of lending, and Messler Ray, senior vice president of strategic development.

Arrow has two locations in Fontana Foothill Boulevard and 16 014 15 222 Summit Avenue.
