Morning 10 minutes after 8 o'clock now it's the morning news have Webster Nancy on WAOK. And now we've been talking about and always if it's not always on the front burner it's on the one next to the back burner and state of course a big big remains in the news and we've said a thousand times -- issue has yet to drop. Now we still have a trial to go in the the free report was released in the NCAA. Made -- sanctions based on the free report. -- we also mentioned on the few weeks back there's a website called the framing Paterno dot com. And they went ahead and commissioned a poll and one of the things they discovered in the poll is the fact that. 45% of Americans may believe Joseph Paterno. Was a child molester joining us now we're happy to talk to a former radio talk show host and sportscaster. He's a documentary filmmaker now in planning a documentary about exactly that John Ziegler joined this morning John. -- -- here. -- 45% of Americans may believe Joseph Paterno was a child molester to what do you attribute that I mean. Is that people are paying attention that it's in every second word of the story exactly how can get things wrong. Well I believe that we ballot media age in which what gets reported. Not nearly as important as what gets repeated. Because of the Internet almost everything gets reported some level we get bored -- news all over the place. -- -- what gets repeated that's important and there's no question. That the words Joseph Paterno and child sexual abuse were repeated over and over and over and over again of course. People know that he got fired people over the -- that they can now be that. And state got enormous NCAA sanctions so it's not -- that's surprising. That 45%. Of people and arts and -- it's highly scientific. Credible all the some sort of Internet all the news in a lot of money into national polling institute to do this fall. And that's surprising at 45%. Under no delusion. That Joseph Paterno may have been. Child molester is really a sad statement about both the nature of the media coverage of this case as well as the general ignorance of the of the overall public. We had a lot of people here who -- critical of the fact that so I think we said the name paternal. More than we ever said -- dusty in this entire case. Yeah and that's exactly why people came to that erroneous conclusion. I mean in the hole which you invited. Www. framing Paterno dot com and all the results are there as well the whole bunch of things that -- out with a brand new video that is actually hilarious proving that there was no cover up in the case. It's an animation that I think people find very farming and they were also out with a 101000 dollar immediate challenge. About the cover up which I hope someone in the meal tickets are on it when you go to the poll results -- -- That more people around the illusion that the turnout was a child could have been a child molester. And I understand that he actually made sure that the head of the campus police were informed of the allegations. Now I mean how in the world can you possibly. -- sort of sensible conclusion about. Joseph Paterno as well as when you are so. Screwed up on the fact that and that's what the American people are. Can you point out any of the other on the inconsistencies and other free report it it once they had like it condensed down in the beginning to what their findings are other people say. When they read through the report they don't know how they came to some of those conclusions. While I. I was pretty much the first person to write about how flawed the free world was because. I guess they had. Premonition that this is going to be the case because. When you put out of 267. Page report at 905 AM and then take questions on that and -- This English and you know and you guys know how -- the media is to begin with an inaccurate -- the 67 page report they have the week to -- -- but they're -- that. They're certainly not generated they'll have an -- less than an hour and and -- that frankly the report is a joke it is an absolute joke. The entire case against Joseph Paterno and his cover up. Is made because of three emails written by someone else. All of which are -- to be -- -- and description date and only one. Even mentions the names shallow hole. I mean it's absolutely unbelievable. It's so much damage has been created. Why so little Levinson let's make something very clear to people don't seem to understand that but get this from a lot of people what Penn State get invited. They accepted that their verdict of the free report. That free report -- was -- -- -- by the board of trustees are of Penn State in order to justify. There unjustifiable. Act of hiring Joseph Paterno in the way that they said. That's what caused this is the board of trustees has not fired Joseph Paterno in the way that they did this entire stall ball would never gone down around. And we hear so often do you know that not just from Penn State fans but others that say you know why the with the sudden rush for an internal investigation why did the free report have to happen before -- even made its way into into a courtroom. Well you know that's a great question and I don't understand the -- and obviously their past speech from. -- fairly nefarious. Explanation -- -- -- the notion that notion that we were having this conversation. Before the trial Gary Schultz and Jim Curley is beyond absurd and by the way that's our mission has 101000 dollar immediate challenge here's the challenge. And there I guarantee don't want them Beijing news media will take up on -- it'll expose them for the frauds that they are I'm offering. 101000 dollars to the child sex abuse charity of a major media members choice. It's in fact. Jim Curley and Gary Schultz are convicted of all the charges that they currently face and that they are shocked. The other side of the challenges that major media organization has to do a major story of why we were right or pay our web site for the term dark around 101000 dollars. Partly this is for the kid. If you -- you really believe if you really believe there was a cover up. Put your money where your -- the reality is. The media knows there was no cover up this is a fraud. They have there's no chance to him earlier from their shelves are going to be convicted of all charges. Even OJ jury considered as well. And continue to -- give few examples of the things that you have seen. They -- say exonerates. Joseph Paterno from actually you know being involved in any kind of a cover up. Well the first the first -- first -- I Irish people are trying to turn about a -- and watch our very funny animation Padilla because what it is is that animation. Of what what had to have happened -- the free report was correct its allegations of a couple of anybody would have to -- -- see it makes no sense whatsoever. But there's there's the other thing about this is if you're gonna allege. That a guy with a career Joseph Paterno was involved in any actual -- -- essential child abuse you bring some damning evidence. Accept the evidence here it is ecstatic now Natalie back. But people forget. It is amazing how the immediate change the narrative here so quickly if you go to failing to turn dot com you'll see one of the many articles we -- -- featured links section. This article by -- and it ended up winning a Pulitzer Prize. Former coverage of this case she is a media darling well on the day of the indictments in the Jerry sandusky case short article with the headline. Joseph Paterno ladies -- for his reaction to Jerry sandusky allegations. That was the original storyline. And I believe that in fact. Have been in the news media decided that's what they wanted to do Joseph Paterno others that have been here for Joseph Paterno to be portrayed as the only hero in the states. Now that that potential long time to explain how that scenario would play out. Well I believe it was just -- likely it may be far more truthful scenario that the when they decide to vote counts. Because it was much better for ratings it was a much but the story was much more salacious. And that's all that he has about these days. Everything you -- it is through them and everything that the media has done step by step inch by inch slowly I turned. Every bit of that has been incorrect and and bass backwards it's. Well -- -- what they get what they bought into it completely false narrative. When violates the -- important point out the prosecution deserves an awful lot of planes are listed as what they view it. In that way in the let me put out that injury percent. They put the words anal intercourse in there describing what Mike McQueary saw and Asia and state equity. What he apparently or allegedly told Joseph Paterno about all the facts are and this is not my opinion this is these -- the overwhelming facts. There is not a chance in the world but Mike McQueary saw. You know and of course by the way. Jerry sandusky was acquitted of that to charge -- trial of talent in the media that I don't know that. As -- reported. Reality is that Mike McQueary Natalie conceive that mcqueary to -- any. And Joseph Paterno didn't. We actually can fire alarm fire and because Mike McQueary didn't hell via fire wire and the reason we're in totally out by our arms and that is by emergency. Care. The evidence is overwhelming. Holding his father's boss doctor drama of the -- state three times he -- about the contractual doctor draft would have been. Legally required to look what it -- -- -- alleged child welfare immediately had in fact -- -- -- saw something sexual nature. Credence in sexual nature never set but he did until. Change -- later when he. When the prosecution killed dividend to do and so that's what the actual shell and every kind of reality as a victim to the alleged victim in this case. And it is behaviors been completely consistent with somebody who was not abuse that rationale. So the reality is he bought into false why at the beginning outlines inflamed every war. And that's why we are we art that. I'd tell us about the the proposed -- the plan documentary. Well -- this weekend going to be getting the state college start settling award is that proposed document that your right to ask you never know how things -- gonna work out as it is called the training and Joseph Paterno. And I we have -- things -- made very clear we'll say the training at Joseph Paterno on our web site threatening to turn our back. I am not alleging a conspiracy. Right this is not a conspiracy that there was never meetings I don't believe that. -- we're gonna go get Joseph Paterno. I do believe that this is one of the worst examples of how broken Arden. Modern news media is that it's modern news media is a long -- To handle a story like this they don't have the -- they don't have the attention to detail they don't have the ability to resist the juiciest story at the juiciest story here. Was without all of Joseph Paterno. But that story was now based in fact it was not based in truth there is no evidence for it and I believe that in the end. All of a sudden -- If anyone -- still paying attention and when this documentary comes out we will be able to show. The news media has created massive malpractice in this case it has not to trust the huge. The documentary. When it comes to fruition will be the framing of Joseph Paterno John Ziegler thanks for -- show today. --
