On each TV News Program, I would like to see the following disclaimers
printed at the bottom with each news item:

The following report is filed by Correspondent XXYYZZ.He/She is not connected in any way with the subject he reports on today, financially, socially or politically.He has no connections with any corporate interests being reported. Should any of our viewers know of any conflicts of interest between our reporter and his subject, please report to----------.etc.

I wonder if that kind of disclaimer will produce more honest reporting or it will shut the whole network news business?
