Looks like the title should be corrected to possibly enable discussion of the actual article rather than the paraphrased misleading title given here. Should be:

"Television: It’s Called a Medium Because It’s Never Well Done"

I think it was a drive-by jab at Medium. Submitted title: It’s called Medium because it’s neither rare nor well done.

The quote investigation is interesting but not really pertinent.

Yes. It is possible that the original submitted title included this. I have submitted similarly formatted titles before and had the leading colon-delimited content automatically removed.

However, if the submitter will edit the submission quickly enough (within 2 hrs I think), then an edited title with the correction will be accepted. At least that has been my experience in the past.

I'm pretty sure this is intentional. Note how the article "a" is missing before "Medium", and the capitalization has been changed to sentence casing while retaining the upper-case on Medium.
