Al Tompkins, who teaches broadcast and online journalism at the Poynter Institute, said “when you pay for information, the information becomes suspect.”
“The problem with any journalism organization paying money for interviews is that it gives the incentive to the interviewee to say something or to stake out a position that they otherwise might not stake out,” Tompkins said
Tompkins said it’s a bad practice and comprises the independence between subject and journalist. “There should be some separation between those. We shouldn’t be business partners,” Tompkins said. “Are we going to start paying police officers? What about military officials?”

Can't blame her. Put yourself in her shoes, wouldn't you take a cool $1M for an interview? I would in a heartbeat. But then again my dad isn't worth billions.
It's the media that we should throw off the train.

It's the media.
The media got sucked into the Y2K hype and helped thousands of computer techs get rich.
Anyone that would pay 1 Mil for an interview with Hilton is disturbed to say the least. Anyone that watches it needs to get a life.
What is happening to our country? The media.
