Despicable Practices?

Is it just me or does this make anyone else kind of sick?

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- The New York Times and "Inside Edition" are among those sponsoring Google key-word searches for the phrase "Virginia Shooting." While many mainstream media companies solicited user-generated media for early coverage of the grisly scene at Virginia Tech, others are now ensuring they're the go-to source for news. In another development, NBC's "Dateline" has set up a FaceBook group seeking out friends of the shooter.

I'd say from now until...at least some later time I will be boycotting the New York Times. I would boycott Inisde Edition too, but you expect this from a fourth-rate sensationalist program like them.
