Whenever I am back east visiting my parents, every time I hear thatbstupid Fox News Breaking News alert chime sound effect from the other room, it puts me on edge like they are going to say an airliner just hit a skyscraper. It really pisses me off. I guess I am especially effected becuse I don’t own a television set
It is indeed intended to draw our attention—though mostly it’s not a huge story, and the news itself is actually stale. Nancy (dis)Grace is known for it—and other terms like Alert are used too.
And it’s on the web too..
