OLN: The Only Lance Network - got barbed last night on the DailyShow

Last night, Jon Stewart made a crack about the obscurity of OLN in the
cable hinterlands last night while reporting on an appearance of Bush on
one of OLN's fishing shows. Two things bothered me:

1: Why were OLN and comcast giving Bush an opportunity to use their
station as a free campaign tool?

2: Bush had on sunglasses and a cap with the NIKE logo on prominant
display. When did Nike start to sponsor the executive branch?

Was he talking about campaign issues while fishing or was he just fishing?
I doubt fishing would be considered campaigning.

No. Duck hunting, fishing, etc., are areas of manly companionship ever
unsullied by workaday concerns. But you knew that, right? --Tom Paterson

Lots of positive exposure for Bush being a regulat kind of guy. and the
show closed with an endorsement by the host of Bush presidency. But the
president's Nike endorsement was more disturbing to me.

How much would it of bothered you if it were Kerry fishing and wearing a
Nike hat? In my opinion I would think that OLN being a smaller network would
welcome either Bush or Kerry to help OLN's exposure...

I believe that the host + Bush go back a few years. Also, a lot of
these shows are time buys. OLN has a slot open. You make a show, line
up sponsers that pay you money. You pay some of that to OLN, OLN shows
the show, you keep the difference as profit.

Have no clue about the hat.

Did he catch a blue whale, or are the Homerian epics reserved for
mountain biking ?

Strange as it may sound, it is possible to wear a Nike cap and not be
sponsored by them. Its true. I have a couple........but the checks aint
rollin in.

He wore Nike because the Saudi's don't have a logo.
