So Sandusky was a ped, there were witnesses, it was an open secret at the Penn State administration and athletic department, and yet nobody on the paper, even the sports guys, knew anything, heard anything, saw anything, suspected anything for all those years. Right.

No, sorry. I think these guys were probably as much a part of the Happy Valley good old boys’ network, as much a part of the problem, as anybody at the university.

“and when the PA State Police”

‘State Police’ likely means ‘Penn State Police’, not Penn St Police

“And yet they have absolutely no problem publishing the smears against Herman Cain, without the “facts” they are so committed to having.”

One involves Democrats like Spanier, Democrat-supporting Institutions, and Politically-correct Democrat activities.

The other is a Republican, so no rules apply.

Welcome to today’s Media, and it’s versions of “truth”.

The Patriot News is one of my local newspapers, so I'm used to it's liberal slant.

But when compared to the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it's a lot more to the center of the truth.

That being said, they did get a whole lot of grief from everyone around here, who worshiped at the alter of JoePa and his Beaver Stadium cathedral.

Just look at the comments they got when they published this story back in April.

Imagine if the officially dead prosecutor Gricar resurfaces at some point. I would pay money for the privilege of taking that deposition.
