Breaking News Abuse
Admin Lecture Series ^ | November 20, 2003 | Admin Moderator

Posted on 11/20/2003 9:52:43 AM PST by Admin Moderator

There are way too many non-breaking news stories being placed in breaking news. It's gotten so bad, this is in breaking news. Please, if the story has been posted once in breaking news, it doesn't belong there again unless it's a critical update. Also, don't abuse topics. A story does not need to be posted in every single topic. It does not generate more hits to your thread.

Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, are not breaking news, unless convicted. This is tabloid journalism, we are a conservative forum.

Related threads can be found here.

Good work.

"No tabloids in breaking news!"

...and let's try to keep Breaking News out of tabloid news! I hate it when we have a nice little mindless, inane thread going and somebody breaks in with a "White House EVACUATED!" post. The nerve...

I've been wanting a bike for a long time.
I never owned a street bike, but had so many fast dirt bikes when I was a kid.

To be honest with everyone I could care less about Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, that is what we have courts for. I heard there is this thing called TERRORISM out there, shouldn't that be breaking news?

Greta Van Susteren

True story: I litigated against Greta when she was a two-bit criminal defense attorney down at D.C. Superior Court. She was shrill and whiney, but also I have to say very friendly. Her hair then was very long. She was a total liberal. I still wonder what she's doing on FOXNEWS.
