nationalgeographic.com is included because the Nat Geo tv channel is 2/3 owned by News, but otherwise the list looked about right (media outlets controlled by Murdoch companies).

2/3 is 2/3, I don't see why you'd expect it to be left off of the list.

But the website is for the magazine, which is independently controlled by the NGS. The page does include a section for the tv channel, so I can see the logic, it just struck me as an anomoly.

Thanks for the clarification. In that case I agree with you. Moving from "owned by News" to "partners with News in a related venture" is a huge scope creep for the extension.
