Oooh. I know!  Is it OK if I answer?

Profit margin is the number the media ignores, since it is usually
small.  Profit is the one the media uses whenever they want to demonize
a company, since it is expressed in absolute dollar terms and is
is usually in the millions or billions of dollars and is effectively
worthless at telling you anything.
