PSU will not live this down in my lifetime. It is a catastrophe not ever imagined in Academia. The story is disgusting and the blind eye is criminal.

I hope you're right. We've seen a President's sexual entertainment in the Oval office swept under the carpet by the MSM. Of course, they had a reason to; that particular President was carrying their ideological water for them.

Penn State shouldn't expect the same treatment, unless the ideological angle comes into play.

If this scandal must go into the memory hole to protect the gay agenda, into the memory hole it will go. Or, at least, the MSM will try to put it there.

The media's attempts to cover for Clinton worked, to a point, but at a huge cost to the media itself. They lost a substantial chunk of their prestige, and of their audience, as a result of it.

I wonder if there are people somewhere, this very night, calculating the potential costs of such an effort taken again in this case. They surely know that their ability to sweep the mess off stage is much less than it was 15 years ago. They also have, or will have, heavy pressures on them from the "gay axis." The risk is, of course, that they do a Clinton-style rescue mission, with a full-court press to legitimize sodomy of children, to claim that it's "the new normal" ... and the effort fails. Not only do they waste all those resources trying to push the rope, but they lose another big chunk of audience, credibility, and prestige.

I know that sounds bizarre, but I thought the whole Lewinsky thing was utterly bizarre, and the fact that Clinton survived it completely shifted my view of the reality of America as a society. We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Will they try it? It seems, by all that is Holy, that they cannot. They must not. They won't be able to keep the larger story bottled up.

But if they can't, and if this goes beyond the isolated cases of Sandusky and Victims 1 through 9 (or whatever the upper bound is now)... if it comes out that Sandusky was passing these children around in return for some sort of compensation, it could alter the gay agenda in America. That will release powerful emotions among an element of the population that has become accustomed to getting its way no matter how outrageous its demands.

And this going into a Presidential election season. Obama is counting on support from homosexuals; they're one of his core constituencies. They will make demands on him with regard to this case and to fallout from it.

I understand the media reference but God has a special place for children. PSU could care less apparently. They will care now.
