Great, a CNN "Breaking News" update interrupting your movie or show every time Trump pinches off a fresh new loaf on Pravda Social; just what everyone wants!
I have the cbs news app on my phone. Yesterday I got a breaking news push notification informing me that someone caught a big alligator. I can't imagine the rage I'd be filled with if I was immersed in a show only to be interrupted by a pop up like that.
Or to use the recent hurricane coverage as an example:
Etc. Pop up, pop up, pop up, pop up. Id either stop watching Max or have to ask my doc to prescribe blood pressure meds.
I agree. I can understand interrupting the show for somethings. Earthquake early warning, fine. A celebrity going to rehab, not ok.
But anyways, how's the weather been in Florida and Georgia lately? All good, I presume?
Yeah it's just gonna be "breaking news" that turns out to just be fear mongering. Kinda like how pretty much all major news sources have been for the last 20(?) years.
Hard pass.
