The interview being aired by NBC as news content is part of a larger documentary called “The Framing of Joe Paterno.” (by a man named John Ziegler.) On his website, Ziegler lambasts the Freeh Report of the Penn State scandal, which concluded Joe Paterno “failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade.”

Ziegler attacks the testimony of assistant coach Mike McQueary who said he observed Sandusky sexually assaulting a child in the shower. Ziegler says “the evidence indicates that McQueary did not witness an assault, but rather a botched ‘grooming’”

Previously Ziegler has produced films such as “Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected” and “Blocking The Path to 9/11,” a film defending an error riddled mini-series seeking to pin blame on Bill Clinton for the 9/11 attacks.

Ziegler is also defending Reno Saccoccia, the Steubenville football coach who “knew about the rape of a 16-year-old girl by two of his players, but didn’t say a word about it to school administrators or local law enforcement.” On his website, Ziegler asserts Saccoccia is “not culpable” and reveals he has been “advising him for the past several months on how to handle the media firestorm.”

Paterno's own son doesn't support the guy's efforts. John Ziegler identifies himself as a libertarian. I'd call him an asshole.

that made the Penn State Scandal possible.

3. Move over Sarah Palin. Zeigler used to be obsessed with her...

Worshiped her then turned on her. The latter should not be mistaken for intelligence, just hurt feelings when she stopped giving him the time of day.

Dude has a real screw loose.
