BREAKING NEWS

Post by ghostrunner »

CNN - If you leave it up on the screen all day, it really has no meaning anymore.


Any guesses as to what they'll have to use now for actual breaking news?



P.S. - Over at Headline News, this Nancy Grace show is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. They've done nothing but trash this missing girl's mom for the past two weeks (probably more, but that's when I started watching the news more). She seems guilty, but what's being accomplished?

My opinion of humanity goes down another notch.

HOLY [expletive] GUESS WHAT HAPPENED

I actually stumbled across that Nancy Grace show the other day and it gave me a headache within 30 seconds. Her entire career is based off running stories into the ground. I guess they finally let that Natalee Holloway thing go.

Nancy Grace relates EVERYTHING to her "tweeeins". My gf has some weird obsession with her and will turn on her show occasionally and I'll consider smashing the remote thru my temple

ESPN has been doing this, as well.

All the regular daily news items are preceded by "Breaking News" on their crawl at the bottom on ESPNEWs.

This is probably tactless to say when I'm not sure if this is actually true (and because it probably is), but the wording of this sounds just like something William Shatner would say, and has said.

But yeah her show has pretty much no redeemable value, outside the spoofs of it they would do on "Studio 60."

I completely agree with the not-so-liking of Nancy Grace. I cannot stand her & absolutely hate it when a commercial of her show is on -- instant headache in about 1.4 seconds! A very long time ago I tried to watch her show for a few minutes & nearly got sick -- just horrible.
