Thus answering the question "what if an oxymoron mated with another?"

11. "Breaking News"
"Breaking News" when I was a kid was a serious news story. "The President of the United States has been Assassinated".

Now "Breaking News" can be anything from a car chase, to a cheating spouse, to a celebrity sighting, to who knows what. Nothing carries the serious of the breaking news of the past.
