So with this new change to MSNBC website

[warrior1]

they don't have any red banners for breaking stories?


It's annoying and feels incomplete.

I hate it

1. I switched to Google news.

The new MSNBC site is awful.

2. It is really un-readable.

3. I just sent an email

for what ever good it will do.

4. Ugh. The overly large pics overwhelm

the front page and interfere with seeing all the stories and picking out what you want to read about first.

5. I know

it's feel juvenile. I want to read a story. Picture are way to big.

6. I've switched to BBC with Google News as my homepage.

7. So, red banners for breaking news is indispensable in a news site, for you?

Maybe you should wait until there is some breaking news and see how they handle it. Perhaps this even means they've decided to only use the phrase 'breaking news' for something that really is 'breaking', not just 'the last thing we found'. That would be refreshing.

8. CNN had a breaking story just a little while ago

nothing on MSNBC.

So far they're not keeping up.

BTW, I don't general click on CNN for anything.

9. I can't see anything that deserves 'breaking' on LBN at the moment

CNN is calling the power outages in the US south east 'breaking' (though, given the predictions of the storm, it doesn't seem that surprising), but the banner isn't in red - grey background, white lettering. So it looks like CNN has given up on red banners too.
