They want to interrupt tv programs to let us know that they don't know anything, but they really want to be on tv.

Then!
They put their panel of experts friends on TV to let them tell you that they don't know anything either,
But
They know people who know stuff
But
They can not discuss it because it's an on going investigation.

Stay tuned to watch many more asshat idiots who proclaim that they also don't know anything.

But,! It's been 25 minutes and they really want to be on tv ,
For any reason,

We got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde, comes on at five.

She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye..

Get the widow on the set, we want Dirty Laundry.


CNN and others went all in on that last night over the shooter and clearly had no new news or accurate news.
Doesn't really matter to them, it's just about ratings and advertising dollars. Try to keep people from changing the dial.

U P D A T E :
A line is now forming for all those wanting to be on TV,

Some literate with previous on air experience. Others very illiterate but they saw someone one do something,
So. . . . . They get to be on TV also.

Not just breaking news, but late breaking news. Is that like, Super Kraken?

Fox isn't far behind, between Hamas/Israel War and Maine it's neck and neck in totality of the coverage. The speaker story is over, old news...

We are live with the five 'o clock news.

Please do not notice it is just an advertisement for the six 'o clock news...

The Onion Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere NSFW Language.

The 24hr news cycle has been a plague upon society.

I've long referred to the "news" on TV as "poorly-scripted reality TV." Investigative reporting is long dead. They don't report anything other than what they're told, which they pass on with obviously zero scrutiny. They pay so little attention to what they're regurgitating they occasionally follow one "news" item with another that's contradictory. (Me: "Waitaminute. Didn't they just say...?" Wife: "They did." Me: "But..." *sigh*... "never mind.")

Don't even get me started on the chyons with misspelled or the wrong words.

We turn to a 10 o'clock "news" show at the end of the evening, primarily for the weather forecast. Screen comes up red, with a "breaking news" banner, and most times it's Yet Another Shooting In Detroit. (They're nearly always in Detroit.) These are usually: A child shooting a sibling or friend with an unsecured firearm they found, a domestic incident (usually a jilted boyfriend/baby daddy), somebody came back to a bar/restaurant/club/party with a gun after an argument, or a random drive-by for no readily-apparent reason. Then there's the occasional shooting at the funeral for a shooting victim.

It's such a regular occurrence it no longer qualifies as "breaking news," IMO. "Breaking news," IMO, would be a night where there was no shooting violence in the City of Detroit.
