Why This Score

This event concerns a corporate PR dispute between United Airlines and a leaked internal memo regarding a privately-branded 'Trump International Airport' - no government mechanism, no constitutional driver is implicated, and scope/population are narrow/local. No structural harm to elections, rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights, institutional capture, corruption, or violence is present. This is a low-grade hype/gossip item with modest meme-ability but no strategic distraction engineering evident (no coordinated timing with major news, no clear intentionality indicators). Falls below A threshold with no mechanism, qualifying as Noise.
