Author's POV edit

The author appears to have used original research in writing the article and injects his or hers own analysis of events. Furthermore, the author uses this research to inject their own POV into the article by positioning PNC positively without citing sources.

Examples: "likely meaning several branches would be consolidated and closed if U.S. Bancorp had bought National City." - no source, authors speculation.

"but would've required both massive layoffs and branch divestures in Cleveland." - no source, authors speculation.



Article Bias and football stuff edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article has a very anti-PNC Bank bias. Can we fix it?

Also the football crap makes zero sense at all.

To the contrary, I don't think the page is anti-PNC. (This is coming from someone who both created the page and had a Virtual Wallet account with PNC Bank BEFORE they started converting the NatCity branches over.) The page is well-sourced, and there were a lot of strong feelings in Cleveland when National City got bought out. You would be too if a local business and major area employer got bought out. There is a lot of anti-National City information as well, such as the company entering subprime lending. In effect, this page is very neutral.

And as far as the football reference is concerned, there are a few Clevelanders that didn't like PNC buying out National City because of the rivalry between the Browns and the Steelers. Pittsburgh businesses have been moving into Cleveland for years, but PNC buying NatCity was the first major deal because while Giant Eagle acquired several small grocers to expand into Cleveland, National City was a Fortune 500 company. Yes, in Pittsburgh the rivaly with the Ravens is more of a big deal than a one-sided rivalry with Cleveland in favor of the Steelers (blame Art Modell), but Cleveland still considers the Steelers rivalry to be their top one. Cleveland is essentially losing civic pride to Pittsburgh. And this is coming from a Pittsburgher as well, seeing it from a Clevelander point of view. Jgera5 (talk) 15:42, 29 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
