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.

Really?

That’s your contribution. You want to start and argument over nitpicking the term “Breaking News”.

How about we let the moderators and the folks who run FR worry about those details.

Chill out.
