They don't ask if they have any positions in competitors that might move in sympathy either nor whether they are trying to get banking business.

Good point. They SHOULD be asking those questions. And the disclosures should be at the beginning of the interview, not at the end where they usually ask the disclosure questions. Providing that information right up front would give listeners the opportunity to listen with an even more critical ear to the story. I recall a few weeks ago when they interviewed an analyst right after the Bill Gross/GE brouhaha that the analyst had very positive comments about GE, then at the very end he disclosed that his firm was the underwriter for a recent issue. Kind of made the entire interview suspect, and it would have been useful to know of the bias at the outset.
