Then follow it up with news about a cat stuck in tree.

Used to, not anymore, they use it so much, I'm desensitized now. They'll do a Fox New Alert if Brit Hume farts.

Not anymore. "Special Report" and "Breaking News" used to mean something, but not since they started using them for weather-related events that could be picked up on local TV or on The Weather Channel, etc.

At one time it did...but it is done so often that it doesn't anymore. It's one alert after another. Every little news story is now an "alert."
