A Question about Degrees of Culpability

The nation's press is attacking a member of the House of Reprehensibles who was moved by the rhetoric of the Chosen One to shout out "You Lie," thus engaging in boorish conduct that apparently violated the body's rules of decorous conduct.

Wouldn't it be nice if the members of the fourth estate examined the accuracy of what the target of their assault said instead of diverting attention from that question?

In weighing transgressions, might not a congressman engaging in impolite behavior be less serious and consequential than a president misleading the nation's citizens and the Congress on an issue of great public importance?
