Personally yes, when i hear everyone clamour for transparency, I want brutal honest transparency, so yes twitter handle and twitter docs should clearly mention that they are owned by Saudia and terrorist Qatar.

Same with DW News, Al Jazeera, Middle East eye and Gulf news.

I've always wondered, without pure transparency, who will guard the guards?

At least DW is totally transparent about it. A quick look at their web site gives you that info immediately. The info page about it even figures as one of the top Questions in their FAQ:

"DW is Germany’s international broadcaster. It is organized under public law and funded by the German federal tax budget."

"DW is financed via funding from the state, i.e. from tax revenue. This is in contrast to the domestic public channels, which are funded via broadcasting fees."

Isn’t DW state-owned by Germany?
