Deep thought of the day

You know how journalists and media outlets are supposed to disclose their interests with stories they cover?  The best example being when we hear at the end of every NBC story: “General Electric, which is under investigation for …… is the parent company of NBC News.”

Should Al Jazeera start ending their segments on Libya with: “The government of Qatar, which is the parent company of Al Jazeera, is currently launching air strikes on Qaddafi’s government”?

Just wondering.
