I might agree with that if the policies in question were unpopular, or, close to a 50 / 50 split.
However, these are not.
To use your analogy, what ballplayer (or team batting?) wants the fans watching a squirrel when he just smacked a line drive off the wall w/ 3 men on base?

The fans can only watch the line drive, the earned runs and the crowd reaction if the cameras show it and the commentators report it honestly.
If MLB televised coverage were as corrupted, dishonest and fake as the MSM, the cameras would never show Trump’s line drive, the runners touching home plate, the cheering fans or the winning scoreboard.
Instead, the viewers would be treated to a panel of commentators agreeing that Trump was unsportsmanlike, a cheater, and a disgrace to baseball.
Then a series of doctors and retired baseball celebrieties would claim he was on steroids and that his own team mates hate him. He would be accused of racism, incest, wife beating and homophobia.
The viewers would never see what actually happened.
Trump is far better off getting the MSM to chase a “squirrel”, and then using Twitter the next morning to report the truth about what he accomplished in his own words.
Followed of course by another tweet about the fakeness and stupidity of the MSM, who totally missed the real story because they were stupidly chasing a squirrel!
Then finally, a third tweet to set up a “squirrel” to draw the MSM’s attention for the next day’s news cycle.
Believe me, Trump knows what he’s doing.
