CNN is getting more sensationalist by the week. Here at 7:00 AM their headline is:

[George II]

SOON: FMR. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S HISTORIC SECOND IMPEACHMENT TRIAL BEGINS

Right next to it is "Coverage begins today 12P ET"!

When did "soon" become five hours?

1. Their writers would probably argue something about relativity...

... and how it compares to how much time remained starting from January 13, 2021... the day he was impeached.

They want to make it seem imminent so that people will stick around through the numerous commercial breaks.

(Seems like forever-ago, almost.)

2. ...the same time that "Breaking News" became the snow storm that was

forecast five days in advance that is still three hundred miles away.

6. Exactly. I'm old enough to remember when breaking news meant

something critical had happened such as assassinations, bombings, etc. The sensationalism of every little happening is ridiculous.

[Tom Rinaldo]

7. They used to use the term "Our top story" most of the time instead

Now everything is "breaking news". Breaking News: "Superbowl festivities about to kick off" etc.

[soothsayer]

11. Yeah, really dislike the overuse of that

[a kennedy]

13. Yah, that BREAKING NEWS is so damn annoying, and they use it for every new show.....

🤮 🤮 🤮

3. 24 hours ago?

4. I agree with you but I still like them better than MSNBC

I do like Nicole Wallace and sometimes Rachel but that's it.

5. They are totally bored with Biden. They were dying for this

impeachment to start. I listened to 5 minutes of Don Lemon last night and it was all about Trump blah blah blah

8. Jake Tapper REALLY annoyed me yesterday

I was in the car listening to CNN. In the span of about 30 minutes yesterday afternoon, I heard him refer to 2 concocted issues.

I heard him refer to the Biden administration's "clumsy" handling of the Trump intelligence briefings.

Then, he had an ethics expert on to discuss Biden "ethics" issues about Joe's brother and the law firm and that Joe was trying to help sell Hunter Biden's new book.

I can easily see someone like Tapper desperately looking for something to say about the Biden administration over the next 4 years with that angry face of his....he NEVER smiles! Jake, here's a clue

[Celerity]

9. ...

[DonaldsRump]

10. Fair enough! But are there any videos of him on air? nt

[cbdo2007]

12. They must be bleeding out money from people shifting away from the crazy Trump news.

He was a gold mine for them and now their viewership has likely plummeted. They know Trump = ratings gold, so they longer they can make him relevant the more people will watch.

I love Biden...but he and Harris are soooooo boring, in a good way, because it means they are doing their jobs.

[Baclava]

14. Well, if it got YOU to watch, the hook WORKED, lol

[hvn_nbr_2]

15. Oh, c'mon

"Soon" can mean anything from 5 milliseconds to 20 years, depending on context.

[George II]

16. So now this morning, before 8:00, they're saying "Soon: House Impeachment Managers begin...."

It's not going to begin until 11:55, not "SOON"!!!!!!!
