Breaking news: Less breaking news on CNN

[HanSenSE]

CNN cutting back on over-hyping everything as "breaking news"

 

[Starman]

ALERT!!! ALERT!!

One of my biggest pet peeves in the news industry: The use of BREAKING NEWS when the news is over 12 hours old.

The phrase has no worth anymore because it's been run into the ground.

One of my biggest pet peeves in the news industry: The use of BREAKING NEWS when the news is over 12 hours old.

Or on local TV news, "Our other top story tonight."
Hey numbnuts, only one story is the "Top" story.

But is it an exclusive?

 

[HanSenSE]

I still like the Daily Show method: "When news breaks, we fix it."

I used to rib the CNN folks when they'd call about NASCAR from across the building: "I need to tell you in advance, this is only slightly dented news. It's quite possible it will be repaired by the time you air it."

It's too late. You can never get that trust back. They hit the dopamine button so many times it's broken.

 

[Twirling Time]

Somebody needs to tell CBS Radio News at the bottom of every hour.

 

[da man]

It's too late. You can never get that trust back. They hit the dopamine button so many times it's broken.

Broken like… BREAKING NEWS?
