@adadithya OK. But that's not what Anderson told the speaker. He said even if the talk was a home run TED wouldn't release it. Too partisan.

@adadithya "Embarrassment for TED" is, in my view, justified. In your view, not. You understand my reasoning, you just don't agree with it.

@adadithya The fuss was about TED's reasoning: that this was partisan talk, and it must remain rigorously non-partisan in an election year.

Ah, thanks @kbondelli. TED head Chris Anderson did post a response today: I won't characterize it. Just read it.

Such an embarrassment for TED. And what have we heard from that organization today? Zero, from what I can tell.

I haven't given a TED talk. But I have given two TED-x talks. Now, I'm kind of embarrassed about it.

Dear @andrewrsorkin: "Not a panacea" is not an idea for a column. Sincerely, Jay.

@1ManRevolution Thanks for the replies! Your idea of being well informed is *fascinating.*

Don't want to get "too political?" Then go shopping. Play golf. Make love. Just don't tell us you're in the business of ideas, TED... Jeez.

"Ideas worth spreading..." UNLESS they partake of the political divide in this country. Then: not worth spreading. TED: you're embarrassing.

Got ideas on what the news system *should* become? Set aside some time and study this talk by Google's @RichardGingras.

So subscribers to the Washington Post need their perceptions manipulated by the editors. They might get the wrong idea.

Ever wonder if those fact-checking segments that the press does come out 50-50 for the two parties? Well...

Politico says both Romney and Obama can't stand the campaign press: I found it deeply self-serving. See what you think.

Why that $2 billion loss for JPMorgan that you've been hearing about was a "win for the business press."

It's fun playing Meet the Press trivia with you, @BetsyMTP Will you also address Brokaw's comments on the WHCA dinner?

@JonahNRO Yes, it's profitable anyway. But that would be a reason to gamble on interesting shows in prime time, instead of brain dead shows.

No one can teach CNN a thing. Not even the ratings. Its response will be to keep the brain-dead shows and switch hosts.

Uh... CNN? Brain dead formats with new hosts are still brain dead formats. So the shows fail and you change the hosts.

As I said, a brain dead format with Erin Burnett hosting is still a brain dead format, just dumber. And a ratings flop:

@Manoushz @katiecouric @yahoonews I'd have to watch it carefully to know. Haven't. But I have done that with UpFront and it is brain dead.

A brain dead format with Erin Burnett hosting is still a brain dead format, but dumber CNN's problems are intellectual.

Cool! Roger Ailes gave a lecture on how there's no ideology at Fox News but there is at the New York Times and the AP.

I agree entirely with Erik Wemple's assessment in this column: New York Times public editor to leave in September.

Paul Krugman sends a wicked memo to the Washington bureau of the New York Times.

About 90 percent of the obituaries that make the New York Times front page are anticipated and thus written in advance.

Why people want to be New York Times columnists:

@knowtheory Respected academic and foreign policy scholar. Democrat. Appears in the New York Times quite a bit. Don't know him personally.

What was once called "newspaper journalism" doesn't need to be re-invented so much as unleashed. Let @froomkin explain:

It's hard to find intelligent writing about newspaper paywalls. But I have! @xarker on Charleston's news ecosystem.

@ryanchittum Maybe @emilybell can explain this one to us. The Daily Mail is the UK's Newspaper of the Year:

Top 25 U.S. newspapers ranked by combined print and digital circulation: (San Jose Mercury News is sixth, a surprise.)

@KPCCsharon @jxpaton The real world? WTF... What world do you imagine Digital First Media, second largest newspaper co. in the U.S., is in?
