This is why I don’t sign up for any news to be pushed to my phone.

A championship game?  Sure, send a message.  Well, maybe.  It’s sports news, not real news.

But I’ve heard people complain about relatively unimportant news events being tagged as “breaking news” on their phone.  I guess the stations mimic their on-air newscasts, where there seem to be many “breaking news” stories.

My favorite is “new at 11”.  Why should it matter, if I’m hearing a story for the first time, whether it’s “new” or not?
