Why did NBC not air the most damning part of Jerry Sandusky-Bob Costas interview?

So I'm supposed to believe that the execs as NBC didn't know that Sandusky essentially confessed during the Costas interview?
The corruption is not confined to Penn State.

That was the same question I had when I read the transcript of the Costas interview this morning.
I can't imagine a context where those comments are not completely damning.

Maybe they shortened the tape because Bob Costas is so damn hard to watch and listen to.

Well, my bet is on the possibility that the Big Three Networks, virtually all media not identified as conservative or “fair and balanced” are on the side of the perverts....it’s simple if you think about it.

Probably one of the conditions for the interview was that Sandusky’s lawyer had the right to edit it. Which is sleazy, but in a different way.

“The corruption is not confined to Penn State.”
No, I’m sure it is not. What happened at Penn State was that the administration put football ahead of the safety of little boys and I’ve no doubt that no end of atrocities take place that get covered up because of football or some other sport.

IF Sandusky had gone after little girls instead of boys, you can believe that the media would already be stringing up the rope to a tree and convicting him and advocating the maximum punishment possible under the law.
As the facts demonstrate, Sandusky had a thing for little boys, and the media is reluctant to do it's job because to do so would put the spotlight on homosexual behavior for all the world to see, and they are terrified of offending all the homosexuals who have entrenched themselves in our society.

Mr. Costas never smiles.
Watching him is like running fingernails down a blackboard.

100% correct - my bet is homos are the majority in a lot of news and broadcasting, plus advertising. Nice tag line.

surprised to discover all that the WWII generation accomplished when he wrote his book about them?
I think you'd have to go back to the Huntley-Brinkley era (if not John Cameron Swayze) for a smattering of honesty.

The defense then waltzed out its first two witnesses, former Penn State assistant coaches Dick Anderson and Booker Brooks. Their testimony? They, too, had showered with young boys while at Penn State, as if it was regular behavior.My God, the whole damned place is perverted.

Did they sodomize young boys in the shower too, or was that not regular behavior for anyone but Sandusky?

Apparently, Sandusky’s idiot lawyer thinks that showing that all the coaches at PSU thought showering with boys was just fine and dandy is going to win his client some points.
If I was on that jury, I'd be appalled and pretty convinced that the whole place was a cesspool of corruption and pedophilia.

In fairness to Sanduskys idiot lawyer, he has to work with what he’s got.
Sandusky is going to be convicted and sent to prison for the rest of his life. There is nothing Sandusky’s lawyer can do to help his case.
I expect the jury to deliberate for several minutes, spending most of the time picking a foreman.
