Media: Broken News.

Are you even a little tired of the incessant incorrect use of the phrase



BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


At 4:00 PM Central time today on CNN, that's how Wolf Blitzer started his hour....the headline? The breaking news?  That the charges against Jussie Smolette had been dropped....a fact that CNN and everyone else reported five hours earlier.

ABC TV is another of the networks that seems to start every story that way.





Enough! 
Can't we agree that phrase has some kind of a shelf life, and five hours is within that period?
