Question: Is ANY news not **Breaking News** on CNN?

[hlthe2b]

I've started watching CNN a bit more after a change in cable access and... damn. Does EVERY segment start with that chyron? I think they are appealing to those with "adrenaline" addiction.

Just wondering. I think I need a valium now.

1. MSNBC Does That Too

Everything is BREAKING!

Maybe that's an apt comparison to our country right now. If we don't stop Trump, Barr, et al soon, it will all be broken.

3. I've been watching MSNBC exclusively for months.. Not nearly the same as CNN

imo....WOW

2. They all do it. It's dumb.

4. No, it's all breaking news

Even if it broke two days ago. It’s nuts

5. Too many graphics in general

In daytime it feels like I'm watching a financial network

6. Old enough to remember "News Bulletin" before cable.

8. Yes! If you saw "News Bulletin"..

you knew someone had died or some serious shit was going down.

11. It's still shit, just not serious shit.

7. The local news stations do it as well. Drives me crazy.

You think something really important is happening, only to find out that another water main has broken.

In San Diego, that happens every other 10 minutes.
But it's 'breaking news.'

I really wish they would stop doing it because it scares me to death. California is one big fire zone. Especially at this time of the year. The second I hear breaking news, that's where my head goes.

They should save 'breaking news' for actual breaking news.

9. The only TV news I ever watch is MSNBC.

MSNBC does that, too. It has become a "Little Boy Who Cried Wolf" kind of situation, where nobody pays any attention to it any more and so, if any TRULY "Breaking News" comes along, a lot of people won't pay any attention to that, either.
