Sasa Vucinic: Why a free press is the best investment

http://www.ted.com A free press -- papers, magazines, radio, TV, blogs -- is the backbone of any true democracy (and a vital watchdog on business). Sasa Vucinic, a journalist from Belgrade, talks about his new fund, which supports media by selling "free press bonds."

While he does address briefly the importance of free press, he surely misses the importance of addressing his point. He cannot keep the attention of the audience and cannot seem to clearly make any point short of free press' importance in the first 2 minutes. poorly, poorly done. what was he even talking about?!

It may be that Chomsky has not been invited to the TedTalks because he is a political activist. Burt Rutan mentioned in his Ted presentation "...we have real specific instructions here not to talk about politics." If Chomsky were to give a presentation without the freedom of referring to governments and politicians...well it wouldn't be a Chomsky presentation.
