TED suppressing talk on income inequality, refusing to post it online
http://j.mp/L1idmm (National Journal)
"There's one idea, though, that TED's organizers recently decided was
too controversial to spread: the notion that widening income
inequality is a bad thing for America, and that as a result, the rich
should pay more in taxes."

This doesn't sound like curation to me. It sounds like suppression.
If the facts appear to come down on the side of one party or the other,
so be it. TED should post the video and let the chips fall where they may.
