Breaking News!

Actually, old news now.  Our forum seems to be going through some kind of spring cleaning.  While that takes place I thought I’d share another Breaking News! story.   Breaking News! said the flying graphic - breaking into Larry King Live with Bill Mahr. What could possibly be important enough to stop the best hour on CNN for the whole week or more. I hesitate to suggest but it needed to be something really big. Then I thought of how often they were using Breaking News! and I went, uh oh. Sure enough, the scene cuts from Bill Mahr making another outrageously hilarious statement to the scene of a stage with a couple of mics and nobody there. Great. Sorry Larry and Bill. Bye bye. Click. Breaking news should be for assassinations and planes crashing into buildings. For me, most everything else can wait till the top of the hour.  To round things out my connection to watch Larry and Bill on CNN’s website stutters so badly as to be unlistenable. My only hope is that it will show up as a weekend repeat, and as Bill Mahr gets ready to zap us with another poignant line from his arsenal of outrageousness, they won’t break away to another zippy graphic that says, Breaking News!
