Vancouver Sun managing editor Kirk LaPointe made the following observation on Twitter yesterday about Obamarama:

Twitter surly/superficial on Obama's Cdn visit, no better than msm. No access, period. News conf will be Twitter-better.

I later replied with the following:

Since Twitter is conversational, why wouldn't it lean more to entertainment than informational value?

He didn't deign to grant that observation the dignity of a reply, but personally, I would hope the MSM would be much better than Twitter.

There is a limit to how much quality observation you can expect from what can, at times, be an online cocktail party.
