My issue isn't with the story, which is newsworthy. It's with the NYT calling it "Breaking News." But I'm not one of those guys saying it doesn't matter, Trump or no Trump, so there's that. It all matters.
I gave some examples. There are others. Like ones you cited. But there are many more. Final 2016 election results would be breaking news, terrorist attacks would be, Comey firing, Brexit vote, Hawaii missile alert, Hawaii missile alert error, etc etc.
