Breaking news
I wanted a way to find news reports that were considered quite important. Breaking news is a characteristic way of making that designation. This news is so important than you need to break into the regular schedule to report the story. The Washington Post is the newspaper I used for this purpose. It is the hometown paper of the government. What is breaking news for The Post will be breaking news for every government official, which seems enough to justify using their designation.work in progress: Obama rejects sending troops Afghanistan
