NBC just bought footage two times, lately. This is called Checkbook Journalism and it can be problematic in some ways. I believe this is wrong in many ways and can ruin the news. This can, in many ways make the news bias, because after the people who have the news sell the information they cannot go to any other broadcasting station. This also allows certain news to get the juicer stories only because they have the money. They used this method for a plane collision recently, and they used it to buy go-pro video from the skydivers in the plane.
The possible reason for this is that the new producer of NBC is British. Why is this important? The reason is because for British News people this is the way their area operates. you may have one story get told over here -->. and be told one way and then have another story being told over <--- here, and be told in a way that may not be true. This leads to problems and it is wrong in the face of other news people.
