I'm afraid of Intel's relationship with XYZ media site affecting the articles in XYZ. I get your point though. Reading myself again, I see that I sound silly.
You have a good point too. I was being mildly facetious. Nothing guarantees you'll see the exact ads that represent a conflict of interest while you read a given article, after all. An explicit disclosure would be nice. Not only to ensure you know the conflict of interest is there, but to show that the publisher understands that it exists too.
