Breaking News
I awoke to breaking news. Obama gave his speech to the Muslim world and the morning news (and online newspapers) referred to this event as 'Breaking News'.
Can an event that has been planned for months and anticipated for days be breaking news? I think the phrase has been diminished by both using it for expected events and by using if for topics that may be unexpected, but aren't news (that would go into my diatribe on entertainment-related issues more and more being covered by news organizations).
