E.G GOES IN ON TRUMP, NANCY PELOSI) ALSO THAT CORONA VIRUS!!!!(MUST HEAR)!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Newspaper editors revised their front pages accordingly. The New York Times replaced a photo of a stone-faced Pelosi sitting behind Trump with a livelier photo of Pelosi in mid-tear. The new subheadline said "Tensions Grow as He and Pelosi Swap Snubs." The rip-seen-round-the-country totally overshadowed the official Democratic rebuttal address. Around midnight, as cable commentators chewed on the meaning of the tear, Pelosi's office issued a statement that seemed to justify her action by pointing out some of the false claims Trump made. "The manifesto of mistruths presented in page after page of the address tonight should be a call to action for everyone who expects truth from the President and policies worthy of his office and the American people," Pelosi said. The president's defenders ignored the factual issues with Trump's speech and targeted Pelosi instead — Sean Hannity called the ripping moment "one of the most classless things ever done in the history of the State of the Union.‬" In the morning, Fox commentator Jason Chaffetz said "I have never seen anybody act so childish in my life." The "Today" show led with a graphic titled "ON A TEAR," and then had a discussion about the act with a conservative and a liberal guest. The Democrat, Claire McCaskill, said the ripping wasn't her "favorite" move, but "it was a speech that was full of lies." Trump produced his own morning show on Twitter, with a burst of anti-Pelosi retweets, many featuring the hashtag #PelosiTantrum. By 8 a.m., he had shared more posts about her than about his own speech. Over on "Fox & Friends," Vice President Pence laid into Pelosi, saying "I wasn't sure if she was ripping up the speech or the Constitution." Of course, all of these TV segments and Twitter hashtags reflect choices about how and where to exert attention. Ripping up a piece of paper is only a big story if members of the media decide to make it a big story, and if members of the public respond by reading and watching and reacting. Whether these attention-grabbing tactics are in the best interest of the country, well, that's a debate that requires more than one TV segment worth of time. Producers would rather move on to the next controversy instead.
