A-score: Low constitutional damage (3.56). FCC investigation of talk show represents enforcement_action mechanism but with minimal actual impact. Election driver (2) reflects equal time concerns but investigation alone creates no immediate electoral harm. Rule_of_law (1) and separation (1) minimal - routine regulatory process. Capture (2) reflects potential weaponization of regulatory apparatus against political speech. Severity multipliers low (0.8/0.9/0.85) - easily reversible, limited precedent for talk show enforcement. Mechanism modifier 0.7 (investigation not action), scope 0.85 (narrow population, single show). B-score: High distraction (34.79). Layer 1 strong: outrage_bait (8) - culture war flashpoint, meme_ability (7) - 'View investigated', novelty (6) - unusual FCC target, media_friendliness (9) - perfect for partisan coverage cycle. Layer 2 elevated: mismatch (8) - investigation disproportionate to alleged violation, timing (7) - politically charged environment, narrative_pivot (8) - shifts from policy to culture war, pattern_match (9) - fits regulatory weaponization narrative. Intentionality high (12/15): partisan target, suspicious timing, enforcement anomaly (FCC rarely investigates talk shows for equal time), narrative alignment with anti-media themes, weaponization pattern. Intent_weight 0.57. D-score: -31.23 strongly negative indicates List B classification.
