The geezer media believe that the kids love Twitter (they don’t), so they are flogging away at the thing.

WaPo columnist Kurtz cites this lame-o example of pop culture nattering (below), to bolster his threadbare argument that something remarkable is taking place in Twitter:

When I mentioned on my Twitter page that I would be talking on the air about Conan O’Brien taking over “The Tonight Show,” I got a flood of messages. Some called him a genius, others think he’s a goofball. What I quickly learned is that O’Brien is a polarizing figure in the late-night world, loved and loathed with equal fervor.
