The purpose of commercial TV news operations is to draw a crowd. Not report the news. That way they have a crowd to sell toothpaste and feminine hygiene products to.
If you handle every inane story like it was an "end of the world" catastrophe, it will draw a crowd. Even if "breaking news" is mostly "faking news" and one can live quite a span of years before ever viewing or hearing an update that corrects the original "breaking news".
