PROBLEM: (CNN) There is a story, popular among British politicians and attributed to the Australian strategist Lynton Crosby, known as "The Dead Cat." A CEO is confronted with poor statistics at a board meeting, and to divert attention from this unpleasant news, he suddenly pulls out a dead cat and throws it onto the middle of the table. In the words of Boris Johnson, now the UK foreign secretary: "There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the table -- and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point... is that everyone will shout, 'Jeez, mate, there's a dead cat on the table!' In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat -- the thing you want them to talk about -- and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief."Kate Maltby: To distract from his negative media coverage, Trump created a Twitter storm over Mike Pence at "Hamilton"But Trump threatened freedom of expression; his tweets need a strong response from editors nationwide, writes Maltby
