The failure of Ganim to fact check the 1971 story became obvious when the story alleged that Paterno didn't believe Victim A because of all the good things Jerry Sandusky did for the community.
Sandusky did not start The Second Mile charity until 1977 and had no track record of good works up to that point.
This story had more holes than a block of Swiss cheese, but Ganim went forward with it and CNN published it and is standing by it. Moreover, CNN and Ganim seemingly couldn't have cared less regarding Victim A's molestation by a priest. This was another example of Ganim's pattern of putting the emphasis of her writing on demeaning Penn State officials instead of on the safety and welfare of children.
Simple answer - she is getting well paid by someone in PA who needs a BRAINLESS media mouthpiece. She fits the bill.
I believe this latest CNN attack which states "...CNN
bolsters evidence that legendary football coach Joe Paterno
knew years before Jerry Sandusky's arrest that his longtime assistant
might be sexually abusing children..." is nothing more than another paid gig where her "article" provides a means for the absurd "long-term" issue concerning Paterno to be included in the HBO movie which is about to be released.
It is a "leak" in the script which will be presented as this movie. Ganim is being used to excite the public again and make the "Paterno Criminality" issue the public's reason to see the movie. ADVERTISING...ADVERTISING...ADVERTISING!
I also believe that a recent factor may also be at work here. Throughout the past 6+ years, the PACORN's methods have always included "getting out IN FRONT" of any new information that could be publicly viewed as destroying their "Story". The passing of Bernie McCue - a major player in the 1970's "crimes" - has the potential to expose the whole process of REAL CRIMES. These crimes are unvetted payments of $$$$MILLIONS$$$$ by PSU to people who are still "unknowns". Who has the ability to keep them as "unknowns"??? The PACORN - that's who.
Crimes require both motives and resources and the PA OAG "group" have both. Penn State and Paterno have had only "...to protect the bad publicity from the Football Program..." as their motives. They certainly have shown no RESOURCES to support any form of criminality.
YET...the State of PA's OAG has (1) a motive ....Stealing $60M in fines for political "walking capital" in addition to THE POSSIBILITY of "sharing in a portion" of $100M in judgements awarded so carelessly by PSU OGBOT. Add to that (2) limitless resources - the ability of the State to "engineer" a legal climate where it "picks and choices" how laws are applied and who they apply to - you can see who has
both MOTIVES & RESOURCES.
So who would be Perry Mason's most likely criminal...Penn State & Paterno - an easily manufactured public "ILLUSION" based on misinformation that the State of PA controlled along with the media and an involved OGBOT -or- a State OAG with both motives and resources to pull off a $100M+ theft of Penn State funds????
Ganim is part of the paid media who just benefit from maintaining the "Story" - a story which hides the real crimes committed.
