I really believe that it is very unethical of NBC news to use checkbook journalism in order to make sure that no other news networks could get the story. I find it as abusing the freedom of press rights in the fact that it is prohibiting the rights of the interviewed.
Also, it prohibits other news casters' freedoms by not allowing the information, either about the skydiver incident or the Hannah Anderson case, to be released to their competition. It seems to me that they are trying to create the great war between news mediums all over again. First it was newspapers, now it looks like digital media.
