IMAGINE that........NBC protecting a pedophile...It doesn't surprise ME

George, I am not NBC fn, but after reading that article I am not sure where you get they are protecting Sandusky.

They deliberately with held DAMNING information in their interview. Maybe they are not protecting a pedo, but it SURE surprised me, especially since this is the same network that runs the "to catch a predator" series..........

I'm dumbfounded by it, quite frankly.........Are they trying to protect Penn State somehow? Did they not have ALL the information? I don't know, but I've seen the VERY SAME network run garbage that barely had legs........

I don't get it.

Later,

Geo

Actually, I do get it.......they pick and choose what they think is the news..........I wish they, along with all other news stations would report the NEWS, in an unbiased way.

I don't think they are protecting anyone nor picking what to run. I think there are two factors at play. Less important but still a factor is those interviews are usually far longer than the amount of time to run them Sometimes they stretch into hours and they might only 15-20 minutes to fill them. What I really think they did is to drive up ratings at the time of the trial. Think about it, why did they wait so long and then finally release the reanacripts and did so on one of their more popular shows? They did it because of ratings, they released the transcripts while the trial is headline news.

One thing I am interested in is if NBC will turn over the transcript. I am pretty sure they do not have to by law, but in this case they may volunteer since they are not protecting a source.

Well, as I was typing that, Roadtoad posted his reply, which I guess answers my final question.
