NBC News has come under attack for airing an interview  with Jerry Sandusky  that was carried out by controversial filmmaker, John Ziegler.

Matt Lauer anchored the controversial  segment, looking extremely uncomfortable as he spoke with Ziegler about his views on Sandusky.

When first promoted, the Sandusky "interview" was presented as if it has been obtained by NBC News journalists.  However it was actually an excerpt from a very subjective film by Ziegler called The Framing of Joe Paterno.

In the film, Ziegler calls the legal case against Sandusky “remarkably weak” during key moments in the investigation. He also outrageously claims that the sexual assault Mike McQueary said he saw was actually a “botched grooming.”

“I made it very clear to everyone here, including Sandusky, that I am not supportive of him and some of my questions of him were actually much tougher than any he has ever faced,” Ziegler wrote in a blog past last weekend.

Even Paterno’s family cried  foul at the interview, labeling it a “sad and unfortunate development” and “an insult to the victims and anyone who cares about the truth in this tragic story.”

Eventually, Ziegler conceded that he believed Sandusky was guilty of “many, if not all, of the things he was convicted of.”
