Yesterday, I read and commented on your concerns about clarity of the Media section of the Conflict of interest article. I plan to remove the "unclear" flag tomorrow if I hear nothing before them. Please feel free to restore it or to enter text you feel would clarify the meaning or continue the discussion on the Talk page. Best Wishes, DavidMCEddy (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sharing, I reconsidered my opinion as you clarified some points and I believe you have a broader view of the definition of "conflict of interest" than I have. For instance I am not so sure the media have a "duty" to be objective and to report accurate facts (as one prominent TV manager once famously stated in France, "our job is to sell brain attention to Coca-Cola") but I would need to be more precise on that. Anyway thanks for your answers. Xavxav (talk) 22:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
