    Joe Paterno Passes Away

    This time, the media got it right, Mr. Penn State did finally pass away, a broken man, at age 85. Many, MANY blame him personally for the sex scandal that has rocked Penn State, but here was a 85 year old man, fighting the battle of his life, sickly the last few years, & they lambasted him & couldn't even let him finish coaching the last game. Newt's right, this media sucks big time, they play judge & jury, depicting folks as guilty before proven so, isn't this the great country where one is innocent until proven guilty? I know it's not this way, the elite, those living in Ivory Towers decide people's fates, long before the jury ever sits down, sadly JoPa, was a man of honor, NEVER proven gulity of anything, damn the media, couldn't even give him the justice he deserved, let him live with the integrity he eschewed....

    If he was gay or a minority, the liberal media probably would have given him a pass. But alas.

    RIP Joe Pa

    Yankee is right, if he was Muslim he'd of gotten no scrutiny, our media doesn't report news, they create it, they're also our court system, sad....

    There's a time and a place. Can people just honor the man, or do anything for that matter, without putting some political/media spin on it?

    This "media" SCREWED this poor msn the final months of his good life! JoPa helped many a kid to a better life, yet this media broke his heart, his spirit, he did NOTHING wrong, I've been backing him through all of this, this media was still ripping him two weeks ago, "karma", they'll get there's, God bless JoPa's family & loved ones around the world!!

    So, are you saying we should not believe everything we read as front page news?

    He dropped the ball* on reporting a vicious crime against a child. Dying doesn't absolve him of that fact.

    *pun intended

    Last I checked, one is innocent until proven guilty in this country (quite a laugh there too!), Paterno wasn't proven to had done anything wrong, ALL heresay & that's all, the media buried him, convicted him, regardless of age or health, that's wrong! !

    I'm sorry Buffy, I very seldom read the trashy newspaper we have here for personal reasons, so I apologize, I sincerely don't know where you're coming from?

    i'm sorry, but, i found it ironic that you are defending Joe Paterno for looking the other way and having the media call him out on it. that's all I'm going to say.

    Like you are an expert on it, you got your info from the perverted press. The ones who erroneously said he was fired, when he never was. Joe Paterno was a class act right up to his death. One of my heroes!
