....Then came the sound bite NBC should have aired on every television set around the country as soon it was muttered from Sandusky’s mouth.
“Well — you might think that,’’ Sandusky said. “I don’t know. In terms of — my relationship with so many, many young people. I would — I would guess that there are many young people who would come forward. Many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and — and what I had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. And I didn’t go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I’ve helped. There are many that I didn’t have — I hardly had any contact with who I have helped in many, many ways.’’
Instead, they sat on it.
An NBC news executive emailed me the explanation as, “There were a lot of compelling comments in the original interview, but we did not have time to include them all.’’
What’s truly sad in all of this is NBC’s ignorance is just a small sidebar in a story and trial that continues to tear at the heart of every parent out there.
The prosecution rested its case this week by calling the mother of Victim 9 to the stand, after the now-18-year-old had already detailed that Sandusky had made him bleed by anally raping him. The mother told the jury that she always wondered why her son’s underwear were always missing from the laundry.
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.

In fairness, there are not any non-damning parts of that interview.
The way our legal system works, you can't get a valid conviction of Sandusky unless an attempted credible defense is made.
His lawyer has to be able to point to some effort on his part, when the conviction is appealed.
But he really seems to be just conjuring up some silliness for appearances and probably can't wait to see the pig hauled away from him for the final time.
Re your post 14, I’d say go back to “Douglas Edwards with the News” (1948-62) for a non-biased, straight-forward presentation of television news.
Brokaw was clearly a biased liberal, but he was less blatantly biased than Dan Rather or Peter Jennings.
In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield, "if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people."
If you want to look unbiased, you hang out with Dan Rather or Peter Jennings.
Darn.
I was hoping to see “KeeAhw” guy....

This whole thing stinks and I wonder what the prevalence is on other college campuses with "programs" for troubled youth.
Expose and jail them all!
The liberal elistists want to be able to rape men and boys at will. That is what the aggressive homo agenda is about.
NBC did not air that self incriminating part of the interveiw because they are symapthic to the homo rape of boys. They support the adoption of boys by homos and the homo sex clubs in the schools for the same reason.
Anyone who believes the elitists’ sex revolution is going to stop at forcing the public to say approval slogans about homo sex, are nuts. It is going to progress to the demand that we approve of violent sex against women and children. This is why liberals so love Islam. They barely mentioned their own reporter being ravishly sexually abused in Egypt by Muslims. They are pushing unhealthy porn sex in the schools on other people’s children for a reason.
Bob Costas is a homo.
The prosecution didn't timely know about it. The existence of this little nugget was either posted on msnbc.com or somehow picked up by the social media around the beginning of the trial.
However, the prosecution has asked NBC to turn over and authenticate full transcripts of the phone interview that Sandusky did with Bob Costas last November (it wasn't a video; it was a phone interview). They may use it at trial if Jerry Sandusky testifies.
Yes, it is. A Boy Scout leader in my old troop was arrested for child sex crimes long after I was in Scouts. I never had any contact with the guy, thank you Lord.
It wasn’t straight-forward and non-biased back then. Anyone recall the most famous “newsman” of the time Edward R. Murrow?
I know about the liberal Edward R. Murrow. Tell me about Douglas Edwards.

Sorry, that’s before my time. :)
OK, but I thought we were only saying that television newscasts back in the 1940s and 1950s were more honest.
Thanks for the reference on Douglas Edwards. We in Alabama were quite proud of our “home boy.”
The driving force for most liberals is how can they increase their odds of having sex with either gender and if by force if necessary. Morals are out the window and promiscuity is celebrated by the left even in if its criminal.
