And how do you rant and rave about both?



"Breaking News" falls under the topic "NEWS"..... it does NOT fall under "Rant and Rave".
The subtopic of "Current Events" does fall under "Rant and Rave" but there is a subtle but definite distinction between the IMMEDIACY of "BREAKING NEWS" and the less immediate discussion of "Current Events".

Example: "Earth Quake hits Cleveland details emerging" is obviously "Breaking News" where as-
"Cleveland still dealing with earth quake cleanup as looters go wild" would be a possible thread of the "Current Event" under RANT and RAVE because of the outrage the circumstances of this "Current Event" have invoked.
I hope we adequately answered your question.
