With a peak of 41 percent of coverage twice on Thursday and hitting 80 percent on Friday, it is clear that the media viewed Trump’s refusal to hold his SOTU at an alternative venue as a recognition that Pelosi was now in charge.

Capitulation was the word of the day Friday afternoon as media outlets digested his agreement to reopen the government without wall funding. “Capitulation” or “capitulate” or “capitulates” or “capitulating” or “capitulated” reached 59 percent in the 2 p.m. hour and lasted through the 5 p.m. hour.
