There is the blatant bias of the reporter who is finds the self agreeing with one side of something over another... It can be politics, sports, whatever.
But there can also be a more subtle bias, which is what we seem to have Schwarz committing in this case. To blame not reporting the story in 2003 on a lack of brave victims willing to forward, and yet you still lack any reliable witness now, reeks of selfish goals in reporting now. Would Schwarz have picked up this report in the same way had it been a week before the Penn State story broke? Heck no. But now you have a best selling story given the current climate with the PSU stuff.
I had to watch the report a couple times. A quarter of the way into his report, he begins speaking factually about what allegedly happened. I loved his gratuitous use of the word "penis" and even managing to get "ejaculate'" in there. This was sensational journalism at its best.
