"Or are they profiting off of the misery of others?"

During the lead-in to this evening's NBC Nightly News, they highlighted a story they will be doing on groups that are touring the Katrina damage in New Orleans. At the end of the lead-in for that story, they ominously asked, "...or are they profiting off of the misery of others?"

Wait a second. The NBC Nightly News is going to do a story scorching someone else for profiting off of the misery of others? What, are they afraid of the competition? Because that has become the credo of all major news outlets-"Proudly trying to turn a tidy profit off of the misery of others, and creating misery where it may otherwise not be found."
