CNN Max is likely to evolve over time.

    The issue is that I can’t tell CNN how severe of a breaking news story I want it to be to interrupt what I’m watching. To me, a story worthy of interrupting my show would be like the death of the president or nuclear armageddon or something. But to CNN, breaking news is like so and so celebrity said “Trump bad”.

      Yep, not only is the idea super annoying, the thing that news networks think should be breaking news is completely out of step with what people actually want to know about.

      It’s always stuff like ‘old celebrity died!’, ‘Trump did/said something idiotic!’, ‘we still haven’t found MH370!’, ‘some bullshit about the UK royal family!’.
