“Breaking News...”

This question, and the following answer is directed at our media friends.When is “Breaking News” NOT, I REPEAT, NOT Breaking News?When you've already “broken” it.Listen people, once you interrupt the news with your so-called “Breaking News,” news, it's broken, give it up. Subsequent “Breaking News” interruptions are:Neither news anymore, and certainly no longer “Breaking,” get it?Good, now stop it with repeating yourselves over and over and over again with the same old, same old; it certainly doesn't do anything to enhance your attempt to look informed and intelligent, rather the opposite is what usually occurs. And while I'm at it what's with the over reporting of weather? Weather happens and there's nothing that any of us can do about it, so let's not go 24/7 for rain anymore; quite frankly, the “overcoverage” makes all y'all look just a bit more stupid than your usually inaccurate forecasts already do...Also, while I have your attention, what's with the local reporting of national stories, followed in the next half-hour by the Network guys/gals re-reporting the same stories all over again? Doesn't anybody local have a clue that the network people will probably cover the same stories?Better yet, let the network people go first and follow them with ONLY the local stuff. And for God's sake let's dispense with the national weather forecast and yield the weather to the local people; they can mis-forecast the local weather much more authoritatively than you national guys can, and that's all anyone really cares about, THEIR weather, anyway.Besides, that will give you another half-hour to expand/fill out your pre-prime time programming lineup with, another game show that nobody watches.BTW, a very Happy and meaningful independence day celebration to you and yours ;-)Enjoy while we still have some freedom left. . .
