i dont get it. I dont get the appeal of "news". opera and msn has been doing it for decades but i never understood what tangible benefit i would get if i was kept in touch with all the headlines screaming bloody mary and "breaking news" every 10 minutes. I am not from the US and i was a kid when i first heard about "breaking news". 9/11 was shown on tv and "breaking news". i asked about it, like what does breaking news and was told something big had happened. Now, we see breaking news and "click to see more" or "you wont believe what happened" headlines.
