Broken News

CNN uses the “Breaking News” mantra way too often.

When a newsy event happens, or “breaks”, it only happens once.

BREAKING NEWS: Terrorists Strike in Iraq

Twenty four hours later, you can’t keep calling that event “Breaking News” because you already broke it.

So, it’s really “Broken News”.

BROKEN NEWS: Terrorists Struck in Iraq 24 Hours Ago

Makes more sense, right?
