The phrase "stand by for news," and all variations thereof, should be banned.

All I can think on reading/hearing that is "No," even if it's news I care about. There are succinct ways to say that that don't use imperatives!
The wording isn't my problem with it, though. It's the obnoxiousness of saying, basically, "I will be posting news on some unspecified topic in an unspecified amount of time, so please keep refreshing my feed looking for it!" Just post the damn news when you have it.

Wait, do people say that by itself without any indication of what the news is, rather than after an introductory snippet on news of which the substance remains to be conveyed?

Yep! They will tweet the words "stand by for news." That's the entire tweet.

Because that's messed up. I assumed it meant, like, "COME BACK I'M NOT DONE"
