Like a grandparent’s worst horrifying nightmare of how kids these days will get their news, MSNBC now offers an online game called NewsBreaker. Ripped from any context, disembodied headlines float down from the top of your screen, but it’s difficult to read them since your goal is to run your paddle back and forth along the bottom, bouncing a ball up and down to break the brick wall at the top.
The headlines? Oh, you can collect 25 of them for a bonus life, but there’s no incentive to actually read the stories.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That is an awfully lame way to try and get people interested in the news.
