Penn State: Should Board of Trustees and EVERY ESPN "Reporter" Resign or Be Fired?

News reports last night and today cast extreme doubts on the credibility of the graduate assistant who is eally the only "witness" upon which the "get Joe Paterno" movement was based--a movment led by the media, especailly ESPN. That is not to mention that su ch graduate aassistant is the main support for the areest and villificatoin of other Penn State officials. Thus, the mdia INDIFFERENCE to actual FACTS (see, again, Michael Crichton's "Airframe") is again proven. For today's media, it is all about STORYLINIE. The "storyline" here was to "get" Joe Paterno, and to ExPLOIT an allleged ttagedy for PERSONAL GAIN (of the "journlaists"--lol--involved). The headline understates the casee. Almost EVERY employoee of the unfari and unbalanced network should be fired/resign, and tha applies to ALL of teh "journalists"out there how have reported so hysterically on the Penn Stae case--as if the actual facts did not matter in the "rush to judgement' for PERSDONAL GAIN.


These people ("journalists") are so far beneath contempt that they have to look UP to pond scum. I wish I could meet them alll facte to face, and personally tell them so. These blog articles will have to accomplish that for them. The scum are perfetly welcome, if they dare, to try to defend themselves in this blog. Beware, however. Any "defense" is likely to only make them look wores,.


ESPN is one of the most vile of the uselesws and evil "news' organizations out there (which ESPN likes to consider itself, as its "journlists' hanker for "respect" that they do not deserve). It was ESPN which not only conducted a CRUSADE against Joe Paterno,without facts, but alsoo took the position that the Penn State Board of Trustees "had" to get rid of Joe Paterno, and that the students protesting that lynching were the ones brining discredit on Penn State.


Nope. The Board of Trustees should resign. EVERY "journalist" out there should resign, or be fired. ESPN should go dark, and let telcasting of sports events be done by somebody else. And you should boyccott ESPN (except ofr the actual sports events--no pre-game, post-game, or other ESPnN material).


Am I "rushing to judgment", without facts? Nope. We HAVE the FACTS of the VILE refusal of these evil people to wait for the actual facts of the "allegations" to develop. Those facts played out before our very eyes. What we do not have are the FACTS abut what really happpened at Penn State. Those facts have been murk, as the media has been uninterested in mere facts (as usual). Those facts are still murky . In that phone conservsation with my older daughter, mentionted in this blog more than a week ago (not in connection with Penn State),m she and I agreed that it was almost impossible to find out the actual FACTS that were KNOWN about what really happened at Penn State. It was all conclusions, specualation and hysterical overstatement. That was well before last night's blog article where this blog frist extensively addressed the medai debacle at Pen State.


No, we still do NOT have the FACTS Mabe little happpened. Maybe a LOT happened, but this g'fraduate assistant" was never a very credible 'witness" as to exactly what. Maybe the graduate assistant was the main person who FAILED tto really say what he really saw. Or maybe the graduate assistant is no great shakes as a witness, or a human being, but maybe there waere still horrible things going on at Penn State that should have been stopped. Joe Paterno (even though merely a football coach--see yesterday's blog article) still could have failed to act correctly. But the FACTS are not at all clear, and this "rush to judgment", without facts, is an EVIL thing This, of course, also shows that gand jury "findings" are not sacrosanct. A grand jury can only act on what is PRESENTED to it. That is why we have TRIALS. In the legal profession, it was often said (druing my 30 year legal career): "A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich, if the prosexutor wants it to." That,of course, is a bit of an overstaatement, mainly asserted by defense attorneys, but it has a large element of truth. And Joe Paterno was not even indicted. This "rush to judgment" on HIM was a truly disgraceful thing, whatver the final facts tun out to be.
