Some people are working and not able to refresh this 500 times an hour, if someone posts BREAKING 24 hours later, then yes, I would agree it isn't breaking. But it is Breaking news right now. Let's not encourage people to be reluctant to post news that is mere hours old. We need everyone to know what's going on. Why do you think a store announces the blue light special 100 times a day . . . bcuz not everyone is staying in the store for 12 hours straight. Just some friendly advice Patriot; we're on the same team.

While I see where OP is coming from, I completely agree with your sentiment on this. Throughout the day as news “breaks” not everybody will get a chance to see a stickied post or they may not spend the incredible amount of time on this website to keep up with everything going on related to the election. I agree the more visibility the better especially in this scenario where it’s extremely easy to be bombarded and become filled with doom & gloom.

I really despise people that think everyone lives for the refresh button. I might only check the site a few times in the day, dont have time for constant little news updates if they arent big news. Some people think you can only be “real” if your finger is glued to the refresh button.
