We'll have more on writing advice from the experts later in the day, but I wanted to get something off my chest, first.
In this email, you'll see more links than normal (which also may mean more people probably won't get this email), but it is important.
Since the college football playoffs have started, we’ve been fielding a lot of questions about our podcasts from a couple years back that combatted the dominant media-driven narrative surrounding the “Penn State Case.”
“This whole saga is the worst example in modern history of a complete fraud that was—to this day still—accepted as gospel truth by every single element of the news media and not one of those news media members—not one of them—can tell you even the basic facts of the case…
And it doesn’t even bother them!
It doesn’t even bother them that they can’t tell you any facts of the case.
Because they know the truth because everybody in their bubble said the same thing and even though we know they’ve been wrong so many times.”
Side note: the Nittany Lion gridiron squad takes on Notre Dame Thursday night at the "Orange Bowl" in the semifinals of the new college football playoff system.
A lot of people hate Penn State for what they think might have happened under Joe Paterno's watch. Well, a fellow I've got to know over the last few years named John Ziegler laid out the whole case with us over the course of a couple of interviews.
For full disclosure, I am concerned with the truth, not appearances. That being said, the "Sandusky case" is not something I had any desire in learning about, but once I scratched the surface, it began a deep-dive into the facts and the narrative surrounding the case.
The O'Leary Challenge is now in front of you: just listen to the show.
You may not want to. You may think it will creep you out, and it very well could. But this is an important story and it goes much deeper than a man’s guilt or innocence.
It exposes the cultural rot that exists within this society. What you'll find is that its cause is the opposite of what most people have been told.
Today's corporate media is currently comprised—almost entirely—of truly unimpressive people. These people jump to rash conclusions either out of sheer ignorance or wonton political—and all too often leftist—motivations.
Fight back? Maybe. But being aware of the problem is a good place to start.
When we first released it, our team cobbled together a “starter kit podcast” for the Penn State–Paterno–Sandusky case as it stands right now. There have been no significant updates to the case in the meantime, as far as I'm aware.
This show, clips from two different interviews we did with Ziegler, is designed to help you get the basics of what is going on with this case and to ultimately go and listen to John Ziegler’s epic podcast series With the Benefit of Hindsight.
More John Ziegler:
“I want to make something clear. I am not raising doubt about what happened. I know what really did and did not happen. What we were told did not happen.
Did not happen! Jerry Sandusky is completely innocent—I myself would have thought that was insane, if you told me that in 2012.
I would have thought that was insane. In fact, when people did tell me that in 2012, I thought they were nuts.”

P.P.S. — For John Ziegler's latest podcast, The Death of Journalism, I have to say, it was the best $10 I spent each month, but now he's knocked the price down to $6 per month. A practical steal:
