Why is it not breaking news?
If the “breaking” means it “just came out” - then EVERY news items is “breaking”.
It suggests urgency, but this is being overused in various forms. FOX started this nonsense a few years back. Everything is “Breaking” and “Alert”. All suggest an urgency.
The Jussie Smollet thing is closer to breaking, including the shock factor.
The ultimate was 9/11. This isn’t close to that urgency. Nothing is going to immediately happen or change in major ways that anyone can see. It’s just a sign-off. Big deal. Not urgent.
