My boss and Penn State

As I've stated on this board before, my boss is a Penn State alum and her parents are very close to all of the people involved--her dad was on the board of the 2nd Mile, big donors, know the Sandusky's, Paterno's, etc.

She's obviously been very upset, not wanting to talk about it, etc, BUT then came this...

During our weekly one-on-one discussion, she went into a Rant about how the media is to blame for Paterno's firing because they sensationalized his role in the scandal.

She even went so far as to be upset at the media's assertion that more sexual abuse claims were sure to follow, now that Sandusky's abuse had been publicized. Pointed out that even though the grand jury report had 8 victims, only 2 had eyewitness reports, etc. (at one point I said, "well, let's be clear, ONE victim is too many")

I sat there mostly in silence as she went on for about 5 minutes with this and her pride in Penn State, it's all the media's fault, JoePa is the greatest man since the other one hung on the cross, etc

Isn't she part of the problem? Thinking that these people aren't accountable? What do you think of her claim that the media is to blame for Paterno's firing?

I'll hang up and listen...
