This is a screen shot from the CBS Breaking News gadget on my iGoogle page. Apparently, CBS believes that a dog walking on it’s hind legs constitutes “breaking news.” Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. I like breaking news, too. But come on. There doesn’t always have to be “breaking” news. Some news is just “news.” And some news is not even news – it’s just uninteresting. ”Pirates Seize French Cruise Ship” – now that’s breaking news.
