Breaking News Abuse
Admin Lecture Series ^ | November 20, 2003 | Admin Moderator

Posted on 11/20/2003 9:52:43 AM PST by Admin Moderator

There are way too many non-breaking news stories being placed in breaking news. It's gotten so bad, this is in breaking news. Please, if the story has been posted once in breaking news, it doesn't belong there again unless it's a critical update. Also, don't abuse topics. A story does not need to be posted in every single topic. It does not generate more hits to your thread.

Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, are not breaking news, unless convicted. This is tabloid journalism, we are a conservative forum.

Related threads can be found here.

Oh I know this should be in breaking news.

Fox News reporting that the accuser had sex with the BELLHOP -- her "outcry" witness -- within a couple of days before this incident.

Report: Kobe to be tested for HIV

Of course, most reliably, like clockwork, someone's posted a Michael Jackson story in breaking news. Can we go break their legs, boss?

And then the Jackson story was immediately removed from breaking news. Cool. Applause applause.

Here's to the Admins, who keep this place as sane as it can be!

I do like the admins . . . .

ARTHUR: Knights! Forward! [boom boom boom boom BOOM boom boom boom boom] What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?

TIM: I... am an enchanter.

ARTHUR: By what name are you known?

TIM: There are some who call me... Tim?

ARTHUR: Greetings, Tim the Enchanter.

TIM: Greetings, King Arthur!

ARTHUR: You know my name?

TIM: I do. [zoosh!] You seek the Holy Grail!

ARTHUR: That is our quest. You know much that is hidden, O Tim.

TIM: Quite. [pweeng! boom!!] [clap, clap, clap]

I had a bad accident when I was about 19 and didn't ride for a few years.
Ever since then, I am very cautious.

HOORAY!

Can we vote on moving those three topics over to chat where the "tabloid-deprived" can knock themselves out?

BUMP!

I agree MJ is not breaking news, but since the issue has been raised I do have a bone to pick. On the night Jeb Bush issued an Executive Order to rescue Terri Schiavo, I posted the EO in breaking news just as the EO became available in the media. For that I got read the riot act by an FR admin moderator!

It was breaking news! So there is an element of arbitrariness on the control side too, IMHO, not only on the side of overly exhuberant FR posters.

And when you were 19 not only did you heal a whole lot faster you probably didn't have a mortgage, family, career, etc... :) I'm a devout coward on the thing.

How about we move Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, & Scott Peterson stories to Chat? Until convicted. And shot. Then hung.
