This was one of the best analyses of the media coverage of this scandal, from start to finish, I have read so far. It's also the first place I've seen take a close look at the PSU student who was interviewed during the so-called riots, and the ESPN reporters who were shocked at how well he understood what was going on, and how they immediately tried to discredit him on-air (link is in the article). I remember being outraged by their comments after the very clear and truthful comments by the student. Overall, it takes a lot of frustrating truths and puts them into the big picture of the media narrative. It also takes a look at the horrifyingly unfair coverage (regardless of whether this cover-up stuff turns out to be true) that has occurred over the last 7-8 months. Also, for those wondering, the author did not attend Penn State.
