NYT Let Sandusky Off Easy

The Daily Beast’s Buzz Bissinger has been one of the media’s most outspoken critics of Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky—and now he’s turning his outrage on The New York Times for giving the accused child rapist a softball interview. The newspaper’s four-hour Q&A served as “an open microphone for Sandusky to give another round of convoluted and unconvincing explanations,” and was accompanied by a sympathetic online video that showed Sandusky sadly contemplating his future. “It would have brought me to tears,” writes Bissinger, “except I still hear the smacking sound that was apparently made when he was allegedly violating a little boy in the shower.”
