        @BBCBreaking How can this be "Breaking News" when it has been planned all week? Why do we need so many reporters on the ground? @BanTheBBC

        “@BBCBreaking: South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela is buried” You'd think the BBC would've mentioned this.

        @BBCBreaking this isn't breaking news. We all know he passed away:his memorial is on 24 hour news. Do you know what "breaking news" means?
