"Breaking News"

There was an article on CNN and many other news organizations about the term, "Breaking News," and how misleading and annoying it was. True. I have 7 CNN "breaking news" emails in my inbox this morning. 5 of them are in regards to the health of Sharon and the other 2 are about Iraw bombings.

I would expect a "breaking news" email if there were NO bombings in Iraq for a change. Also, I don't need to know the health of Sharon every 7 minutes - it is just not necessary. But please, keep these news 'updates' away from my inbox and hit it with true breaking news. Please.
