The boob tube

The wife and I were watching CNN the other night and they flashed one of those breaking news logos. Our journalistic natures, if not recent experience, told us to stand ready for important information.
So what was the news flash?
"Barack Obama supports President Bush's condemenation of the Mumbai attacks."
Huh?
That's breaking news?
"Barack Obama does NOT support President Bush's condemnation of the Mumbai attacks" would have been news.
"Barack Obama supports the Mumbai attacks" would REALLY have been breaking news.
"Barack Obama farts in public." That would have been (wind) breaking news.
But does someone at CNN really think that everything Obama says or does is breaking news or do they just not know what a news story is?
