The White House undoubtedly has an entire list of potential actions that throw red meat to Trump's base to distract from bad press (coughKavanaugh). Similarly, foxnews.com was completely devoid of anything pertaining to Manafort's guilty plea last Friday, in part because of Florence. I wonder if there's some way to quantify how much effort goes into engineering the news cycle, and if it's steadily gone up over time. Of course, it's not a characteristic unique to Republicans.
