In their defense, this scandal is the most twisted, complicated mess in the history of the free world. Watergate was 10 times less complicated than this.

It's almost comical that they are making a movie. We are barely to halftime.

To come out on top, the supporters will have had to take on and defeat (in no particular order):

Their own board of trustees
Their own University president
The sitting governor
The state's office of Attorney General
The state police
The corrupt former FBI director
The self-serving ncaa
The state and local agencies
The entire media - especially a vindictive sports media
The bitter trolls and fans of other schools

Did I forget anyone?

Thank you for posting this.

The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing . . .

It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity,
and they very seldom teach it enough.   - Adam Smith

IMHO the reason FR is so addictive is that we all feel the need to pool our “incredulity” in order to avoid giving credit to stories which we will afterward be ashamed and astonished that we could possibly think of believing.

And when it comes to identifying these “stories,” IMHO the fact that the propaganda media are selling is a pretty good reason to be cautious about buying. As you say, we have the Zimmerman persecution as a lively current example. There was the Duke Lacrosse “rape” hoax, and there was the Tawana Brawley hoax, and so forth and so on.
