    It may make sense for people in the news business, but it is both exhausting and pointless to try to follow "breaking news"—especially under these circumstances. I await the next digital news startup titled the "Evening News".

        If we don't know things right now, we're not informed. But if we do know it now, we're misinformed.

        This rush to be "live on location!!! (tm)" before knowing what is going to happen results in a lot of horseshit and heartburn, which is what I'm going to start calling news networks now that I think of it.

        Agreed. Esp. if that "Evening News" is long enough for some depth, and actually covers news instead of just a talking-head "analysis."

        It's incredible that media falls for this every time. THIRD time he's done this since the Kavanaugh accuser came forward, every time after devastatingly bad news breaks against K. Why can't journalists let a minority chase "firing" news while the rest keep eye on the ball?

        It isn’t that they can’t, it’s that they won’t. Look how many people have push alerts turned on, and click through regardless how frequent or irrelevant the new news is. Editors are unwilling to let that traffic slip, and have somewhat perverse incentives to maximize it instead.

        I’m not sure it makes all that much sense to all of us in the news business, either.
