The TED Talk You Weren’t Supposed To See
BySo says Adam Mordecai:
Nick Hanauer, self-described “super-rich” entrepreneur, gave a pretty compelling TED Talk about how the middle class—not the super-rich—are the real job creators. But TED, which has released over 100 different political videos in the past, thought this one was too partisan and chose not to release it.
Under pressure, they eventually did. Here it is anyway. Enjoy.

I did a post on this yesterday, TED and the Question of “Job Creators” as “The Creator”, http://civiltongue.com/2012/05/18/ted-and-the-question-of-job-creators-as-the-creator/.
TED’s elitism is showing.
The reasoning behind why the video was not chosen is more telling than the fact that it wasn’t chosen.
