NBC Response to video -Laura Aldrich

NBC had bought footage about the plane crash and the 11 people, they got this by some one who was just auctioning it off. This is called Checkbook Journalism. This is unethical because you don't know if they where paying them 100,000 to lie.  Or to sway them into saying other things.

It was also entirely wrong for NBC to only make it exclusive, meaning the 11 divers could not talk to other TV networks, or newspapers. That to me was upsetting, because they must be doing something that is either wrong, or being ignorant. One of the other reasons I think they wouldn't let them talk to other press is because of the month of November is Nielsen's Rating, and they are just trying to get high in the ratings, so this source is very unethical.
