Maybe he figures that while confronting Penn State/Sandusky as child abuse will win support from everyone, whereas suggesting it has a homosexual angle could cost him affiliates and/or advertizers?
Unrelated: On last nights “American Horror Story”, the realtor made a Freudian slip saying “the home was completely redecorated by the previous homos....I mean homeowners”. I had to laugh out loud, and surprised they left the line in.
Bingo!
What I thought he meant was that Sandusky was treated with kid gloves (no pun intended) for so many years because those in power were afraid of being portrayed as anti-gay if they went after him.
NAILED IT
