The people at CNN are left-wing liars. So far, we don’t have the emails, but only a detailed description of what the say.
The decision to cover up was made between the athletic director and the President, AFTER Paterno passed on what he had been told to them. Maybe Paterno should have gone around his bosses when they decided on the cover up, but they were the guys who made that decision, not Paterno. Theirs was the primary responsibility for the coverup.
Of course left-wing CNN wants to shift the blame from a pro-gay-rights President to a Catholic icon. Somehow or other gay rights in academia have nothing to do with it.
The report, focusing on a series of emails after McQueary's initial reports about the incident, suggested that shortly after receiving them, then Vice President for Finance and Business Affairs Gary Schultz developed a three-part plan to talk with Sandusky; contact the Second Mile — the youth charity Sandusky founded; and inform child welfare authorities.But that plan was put on hold, the report stated, Feb. 27, when Schultz received an e-mailed reply from Athletic Director Tim Curley — apparently after a discussion with head football coach Joe Paterno — in which Curley suggests talking with Sandusky directly before alerting any outside authorities.
"After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps," CNN quoted Curley as saying in an email. Curley indicated, according to the report, that he planned to talk with Sandusky and also contact The Second Mile, but not necessarily the child welfare office if Sandusky cooperated and got professional help."
That email is quoted in any number of news articles, including PennLive
