New Rule. "Breaking News":
New Rule:
It's only "BREAKING NEWS!" for one hour after it is initially reported by an entity that is considered to be 'mainstream, generally accepted as more or less reliable, media'.
We can later debate what so-called "news" outlets qualify.
If it makes the morning lede, it is no longer "BREAKING NEWS!" by afternoon.
I hope this clears up some confusion.
Thank you.
