That morning, the Today Show on NBC aired an interviewa with Jerry Sandusky, which really ended up to be a meeting with controversial filmaker John Ziegler (who, full disclosure, has written for the cousin site Mediaite), which included clips from his controversial documentary, The Framing of Joe Paterno. Heat have been taken by nbc for airing the interview, and for the way it had been marketed. Hereas the clip. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, planet news, and news concerning the economy Pretty amazing job by Matt Lauer, at the very least to my inexperienced eye. But letas catch up. What do we all know, again? The Freeh Report on Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno and the Penn State scandal informed you that Jerry Sandusky was a pedophile doing horrific things on and away from Penn Stateas university, for quite a while. In addition it told you that Joe Paterno had understanding of at the very least some of Sanduskyas debateable activities, and did little to nothing for 13 years. People have judged Sandusky and Paterno appropriately. Nevertheless the Freeh Report had defects, and so the Paterno family set out to waste it with their own statement. It did uncover some of these weaknesses, but it didnat really do any such thing to clear Joe Paternoas title. Deadspinas Dom Cosentino does an excellent job summing up the conclusions drawn from the Paterno Report. That Penn State authorities recognized Jerry Sandusky was sexually abusing a young child on college property as far right back as 2001, but that no report was made to the correct authorities. And while no clear reason for their inaction has been established, itas extremely difficult never to draw in conclusion that Joe Paterno didnat do enough. Donat trust me? Just ask the Paterno family. aIt can be argued that Joe Paterno must have gone further. He should have sent his superiors to see that they certainly were doing their jobs.a Thatas from the statement given by the Paternos on the morning that Freeh produced his statement. They added: aWe recognize this criticism.a But, for some reason, we have to keep hearing relating to this. And I donat get Ziegleras objectives. He claims heas maybe not out for money, heas just out for some nobler cause of clearing Joe Paternoas title. He claims that athe media posseses an agendaa they donat want to listen to what the truth isa No one wants the truth here.a Ignoring the fact that humans instinctively do want the truth, that Joe Paternoas contribution made activities media look poor, and the fact that his fabulous statements will probably, sadly, make him major money, his arguments really have no credibility. He also seems to want to reveal Victim 2, who obviously could have done so already if he had any desire to. He says aVictim 2 was going to back up Sandusky.a Well, he didnat and he hasnat. Itas also unclear why he feels spending per year of his life removing a disgraced, dead baseball coachas title would be the noblest thing he may do. I might be ridiculous, but Iam pretty sure this man needs some cash. And many thanks, John Ziegler, for subjecting Todayas audience, and our readers, to Sanduskyas creepy promises and creepy jokes that did nothing to improve our views. aIf they go through the three and a hours of my meeting with Jerry Sandusky and they believe that Joe Paterno was somehow culpable here, I will be stunned.a After reading that, I am hoping no one watches his documentary. These couple of seconds of Sandusky were hard enough to listen to; I canat actually imagine playing that for three hours. Actually the Paterno family needs nothing regarding Ziegler, which will tell you all you need to find out. If any such thing noteworthy is actually exposed, weall be sure to clue you in. But I wouldnat suggest seeing this documentary, and hopefully, this could be the last weall hear about these troubling events. Nonetheless it probably wonat be. [Huffington Post]
