IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Deprioritize; log as media-cycle distraction with no constitutional tracking required.
Why This Score
No constitutional mechanism present; this is a media-criticism/opinion controversy with zero governance impact across all seven A-drivers, yielding an A-score of 0. It scores moderately on the Distraction/Hype scale due to outrage-bait framing, partisan media narrative cycling, and meme-ability, but lacks strong strategic timing or high intentionality signals, keeping B in the mid-30s. D = A-B is strongly negative, classifying as List B (pure distraction/hype), not Noise since it has clear narrative mechanism (information_operation) even though no policy substance exists.
