Should Hillary's team be generating new BS news?

As I see it, the Hillary team is far too sane and efficient, and there are really no new gaffes or controversies or mistakes. They are laser focused while there's always drama in Trump world. But the media needs horse race and needs to cover both sides with some drama to keep people interested. The Elizabeth Warren tweet storm stopped all other conversation for days. Now there's nothing going on, and the media wants to try to look balanced and they are coming back again and again to the email story because there is nothing else.

So my question is (I am NOT concerned), maybe the clinton team needs to create some diversions on the way so that the media can say (in Jon Stewart's words) "Squirrel!"
