Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Just a general pet hate of mine rather than something specific that has happened to me, but I'm finding the increasing use of the term "Breaking news" winds me up. "Breaking News" used to be used when something important or urgent happened, such as a terrorist incident, or someone dying.
Now it seems to used for pretty much anything, even a celebrity who happened to make a comment about someone. Now, Trump has tweeted that it's breaking news that he'll be at a rally in a few days. A rally that is likely to have been organised weeks, or even months ago.
On the plus side, it is amusing watching Trump attempt to defend his administration against the book.
