WSJ Managing Editor Robert Thomson is known for his one-line zingers. He famously told Google (NSDQ: GOOG) VP Marissa Mayer earlier this fall that her search engine was encouraging “promiscuity.” He also riled some writers at the WSJ just after his arrival by declaring that some of the paper’s longer-form stories had the “gestation of a llama.”

Thomson offered another round of jabs at the FTC’s How Will Journalism Survive The Internet Age? conference Tuesday. Among them:

—He said that the government should not intervene by paying reporters, something that he said would lead to a “new class of content concubines.”

—And, he noted that Google CEO Eric Schmidt—who he said had been critical of media executives—put the “dis” in “dismediation.”
