Let's get 6 volunteers to watch each channel's [3,6,10,17,29 & 57] news broadcasts for a week. Every time a station leads with a "Breaking News" story that is just a rehash of a story they covered earlier where no actual breaking news has been reported, we give them a demerit [sp], like in catholic school days. At the end of the week, the station with the most demerits [sp] get's the gas face [old school rap heads will get the reference].

On a side note, I've noticed that most of these so-called/alleged college grads turned talking heads use some of the poorest English this side of tracks. We could institute a side pool on the anchor or street reporter with the worst grammar, story, and sentence structure in the Delaware Valley viewing region.

We need to do something to liven up the Philadelphia thread. It's barely used.
 
I think it sounds like fun! I know exactly what you mean. That really irritates me with the seemingly constant breaking news that isn't really breaking news. It gets your attention for nothing, which is what they intend, to get your attention.
 
"Breaking News" is "Hi, Bob!" for a new generation. To make it even more interesting, you also have to take a drink every time an anchor or reporter starts a sentence with "Now..."
