We do not know the full story here, but the media took the opportunity to focus on the wrong guy. Sandusky should have been the focus here...but that wasn't the story that sold.
I wish the media would spend as much time vetting our congressmen, senators, and president as they did an 84 year old football coach.

You make some good points but then repeatedly defend Paterno. He ran that institution PERIOD. He could have done whatever or told whoever he wanted. According to his own words, he was told that there was some fondling and inappropriate touching of a child by a grown man naked in the shower. That wasn't enough for him to act? These coaching staffs spend more time with each other than their own families. Do you honestly think that he and McQueary or the other coaches ever discussed it again. He continued to let Sandusky use the facilities and run a program for children knowing full well what happened. He makes me sick. The whole staff makes me sick. THEY KNEW! The FEDS are now involved with the lack of reporting the incident. Joe is in hot water still.
