When something awful happens, people tend to pay attention to the awful thing, especially the victims. This is unacceptable to the Attention Shrieker who must be the center of attention at all times. Thus, whenever something happens which might draw attention away from them, they will start shrieking. Not only is attention expected, but reassurance and coddling to remind them that though someone just had both of their legs ripped off by an alligator, THEY are the real victim.
When the man jumped off the building, the attention shriekers immediately began shrieking so people would look at them instead of the dying man.

Get the Attention Shrieker mug.
Verb. The act of editing video footage of a person, especially an interview, to completely change the meaning of what they were saying or doing in order to falsely depict them in a negative light. Based on the Simpsons episode "Homer Badman" where Homer Simpson is falsely accused of sexual harassment, is interviewed by an investigative journalist who then proceeds to heavily edit the footage to make it seem like he want to grab her "sweet can".
A: Did you see that interview with professor Whateverington? The interviewer totally pwned him!
B: Dude, that interview was a sweetcanning. You saw five minutes, they had recorded a full hour. They actually took answers to some questions and edited it to make them answers to other questions. Professor Whateverington actually has the full footage and published it, you can see for yourself.
