I can't really image a for-list media company CEO can promote his own private investment in public without any hesitation; this cause me a great doubt about the company and the internal control mechanism they might adapt; talent didn't mean taking advantage of company resource and re-diffuse it to his own pocket, I saw a lot of such thing, it bias some people's believe in regard to the corporate governance or ethic, this approach redefine the meaning of success and change people's value toward working in modern society.

People have the right to know “can’t be taken as the shelter / helmet when conducting privacy digging action as take it as the slot machine generation cash. it always keep all the talent away from possible public sector and the entire society lost a great chance to invite decent talent service for them -- consider this, whenever a talent in his own profession being invited to join government body, he or she will afraid what they did before will be taken as the weapon against them, opposition party is happy to provide any secret to the weekly magazine, by using the media, the talent will be beating heavily, so, only a few " Pure " guy have guts to take up public position and service for the majority, normally, they will afraid of the explore may put themselves under the sun and be magnified without cause.
