When routine administrative events dominate headlines, actively seek out what governance actions occurred the same week—check federal register, court filings, and agency announcements that received minimal coverage.
Presidential physical exams are routine administrative events with zero constitutional impact. This scores 52 on distraction due to extreme media-friendliness (easy filler content), massive coverage-to-substance mismatch, and strategic timing alongside multiple high-A events (Jan 6 website scrubbing, activist subpoenas, sanctuary city threats). The intentionality score of 9/15 warrants full strategic weight.
