Stephen Miller's public call for CBS News to fire producers represents rhetorical pressure on media independence but lacks enforcement mechanism or formal governmental action. A-score drivers: civil_rights (2.5) for press freedom concerns, capture (2.0) for attempted media intimidation, rule_of_law (1.5) for norm erosion around media independence. However, mechanism_modifier of 0.6 applies heavily as this is norm_erosion_only without legal/regulatory backing. Scope_modifier 0.9 for federal-level actor but narrow population impact. Base 7.0 × 0.9 durability × 0.6 mechanism × 0.9 scope = 3.4. B-score shows high media_friendliness (8) and outrage_bait (7) as media covering attacks on media generates significant attention. Layer 2 shows pattern_match (7) with ongoing administration-media tensions and mismatch (6) between rhetorical threat and actual constitutional impact. Intentionality at 9 for clear strategic targeting. Final B-score 24.2. Classification: A-score 3.4 falls well below 25 threshold, mechanism is explicitly norm_erosion_only, population narrow, and this represents public pressure without enforcement power. High B/A ratio (7.1:1) indicates disproportionate hype. Clear Noise classification.
