Penn State Students pray for Joe Paterno as he remains in serious conditionJoePa Lives! JoePa Lives! Apparently Joe Paterno has not died and remains in serious condition as he continues to battle lung cancer. Both Scott and Jay Paterno tweeted that Joe is still fighting and thanked everyone for their support and prayers. Both are refuting reports that Paterno has died -- but they also say his condition has become "serious" after he experienced complications recently.
Many online news sites and media outlets including the Huffington Post reported earlier tonight that Joe Paterno passed away at the age of 85. Family spokesman, Dan McGinn tweeted at 8:57 p.m. tonight that reports about Joe Paterno's death are "Absolutely not true." According to the Patriot News, sources close to the Paterno family say they are tremendously upset with the erroneous reports of Joe's passing.
Apparently some idiots at Onwardstate.com ran with reports that several Penn State players received an email that Joe Paterno passed away. CBS Sports ran with the story. The media botched the Jerry Sandusky scandal and now has even botched Joe Paterno's death. Priceless! The irony in all of this for those of us who support Joe Paterno and believe he is a man of great honor, ideals and integrity is quite humorous.
But supporters of JoePA better get ready. Of the four articles that I read reporting Joe Paterno's death, including the one published on the Huffington Post, all of them focused on Paterno's firing, highlighted the Jerry Sandusky investigation and emphasized Paterno's so called role in some alleged cover up. Just unbelievable!
The shameful state of the media is at a crisis level in this country right now. Scary!
