The biggest problem is that CNN and FoxNews are 24/7 “news” channels. So 99%+ of their air time is filler.
In this case, I didn’t really fault CNN though. This is the first time in history the White House has been sold as a car dealership, so I understand their use of the tag.
Not related to the specific post but is it me or does american media treat literally everything as “Breaking News”
Like nothing about this is urgent you can wait until the evening news to talk about it. You’ll even have more information by then!
breaking doesn’t mean it can’t wait, it just means happening now

By call it “breaking” they can make up lies and then make a correction on the evening news that no one will pay attention to.
But what else are they going to out on their 24 hour news channel?
