Anybody can move a News/Activism post to Breaking News.
Anybody.
Oh, BTW, my previous post wasn’t to you.
I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I've never posted anything to Breaking News or Front Page.

It doesn't really matter, this has come up before so it's a good opportunity to set the record straight.
Just as there are people like Humblegunner who police the bloggers looking for hits there are people who go after posters who put stuff in Breaking News or Front Page that they don't consider to be worthy, and they aren't afraid to let you know about it. The last time I heard from one of these posters we figured out that my post ended up in Breaking News right after Jim Robinson commented on the thread.
