74. If I were NBC, I would be delighted to have someone running my footage on ABC or CBS

or anywhere else as long as they did not run much of it.

The ad gives credence to a spokesperson from NBC.

Some fool at NBC needs to stop and think.

Obama gets free use of a few seconds from and NBC show, and NBC gets free use of that same time on ABC and CBS. And what's more Obama's use of the NBC fragment on ABC and CBS lends a lot of credibility to NBC broadcasting and news commentary. It's like a free ad for NBC.

What's to complain about.
