Jared Fogle caught in a media storm

After the Zionsville home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle was searched Tuesday by federal and state authorities, news outlets around the country weighed in.

Fogle has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

Here are some of the headlines that appeared nationally:

"Jared Fogle's cameo in Sharknado 3 cut in wake of scandal"

A made-for-TV disaster film is the latest to distance itself with Fogle, as the third Sharknado film cut his cameo, E! Online reported.

Fogle had survived the shark storm in the second film.

"Jared raid is only Subway's latest problem"

A $5 problem? The Associated Press examined challenges Subway was facing before the raid on the home of its longtime pitchman, like flagging sales and its CEO’s battle with cancer. In particular, the piece notes that the chain’s most recognizable deal, the $5 footlong, might be hurting profits.

“It’s a challenging thing for chains that have built so much of their business off of a discount,” Jonathan Maze, senior finance editor at the trade publication Nation's Restaurant News told the AP.

"Edwards: 'No reason to speculate' about pitchman Jared Fogle"

But while some are frantically distancing themselves from Fogle, others are warning caution. In a widely circulated Associated Press report, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards asked people to refrain from speculating until all the facts are available.

“Out of respect for Jared and the judicial process, I think it's really important to wait until there's some facts,” Edwards said.

"Why Jared Fogle was — and still might be — the perfect Subway spokesman"

The Washington Post argued that Fogle’s regular, no fuss persona made him a profitable mascot for the chain that touted itself as healthy fast food. And maybe all is not lost, depending on the results of the probe.

The Post quoted a 2008 Indianapolis Star profile written by reporter Will Higgins.

“Fogle is comparatively bland, which may be his secret,” Higgins wrote. “His persona is friendly, not funny; kindly, not abrasive. His charm is a kind of Johnny Carson-like insipidity that may not excite but wears well over time.”
