It's officially a DEVELOPING STORY vs. being BREAKING NEWS

As in newscasters putting on their Urgency Faces and saying, with a distracted "we're getting this JUST in over the wire" look, "we've got a DEVELOPING STORY for you now..." Complete with zippy "OH, MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!" graphics and ominous music. It was "BREAKING NEWS" for a very, very long time. I guess there was some kind of clandestine national meeting of the broadcast minds that decided a new HYPERBOLIC PHRASE was needed to run into the ground.
