Journalism is 90% profiting from others' misery, war or no war.
A large majority of news, especially news that gets lots of attention from readers/viewers, is reporting on someone's misery. And then journalists create even more misery through the emotions they stir up and fan to a fever pitch. Fear, jealousy, greed, lust, envy... and arguably even more positive emotions like pride, self-satisfaction, or even little bumps of "happiness"... all go towards making many individuals miserable in the future, if not the present.
