No. "Breaking" implies that the event is happening as they speak, or just happened. It's not "If you haven't seen it, it's [breaking] to you," or every story on every newscast would be "breaking" for someone. Local news has been stretching the idea of "breaking news" for a long time, and I can't say I'm surprised that a network or three would jump in. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
