Breaking News

When I was growing up, the words "breaking news" meant something big had happened. Some examples were: 

"JFK Assassinated" 

"Bobby Kennedy Assassinated" 

"MLK Jr. Assassinated" 

"Anwar Sadat Assassinated" 

"Indira Gandhi Assassinated" 

"Elvis Presley Drafted"

"John Lennon Killed"

"First Man Lands on the Moon"

"War Breaks Out in Israel"

Today those words are bandied about liberally, and when you click on the story it might be:

"Lisa Rinna Has More Lip Injections"

BIG LIPS GET BIGGER!
"Kim Kardashian Reveals What She Has for Breakfast"

"Goldie Hawn Tells Why She Won't Marry Kurt Russell"

"Kevin Spacey Cries in Court"

"White House Gets New Dog"

"Barbie Beats Out Oppenheimer at Box Office"

"New York City Faces Heat Wave"

"Elon Musk Likes Anchovy Pizza"

"Doctors Advise Drinking Water to Avoid Dehydration Symptoms"

How times have changed.
