wow ... i mean you can't even say you were trying to say constantly ...
okay here is a theory
Aside from the fact that grammar rules are far more flexible today than in the days when teachers could physically discipline children in school.
Is it possible that writers today produce more pages of news than writers in the past?
So not only do they have to be the first to publish but news is forgotten a lot faster today so a writer needs to constantly produce news. Sort of like how radio sport shows have to talk constantly about the sports even when nothing is happening.
