Burying Bad News

Lesson 1: Always look for the news buried when a story is dominating the headlines.

After fifteen successive defeats at the House of Lords over the Governments Brexit plans, on the eve of the Royal Wedding Theresa May nominated nine new Tory peers as she tries to bolster her party’s fragile position in the House of Lords. 
The nominations tilt the balance of the chamber slightly in favour of May, taking her party’s total of peers from 244 to 253.
Expect another try by the Government to get its Brexit Bill through the House of Lords shortly.

Not really, it means slip out some bad news when something major happens and dominates the news agenda.
