Interesting @MattGertz (R-Fla) look at Fox News mostly ignoring the RNC's "legitimate political discourse" mess, the kind of party own-goal that usually gets coverage. Ignore it long enough and the question becomes: Why is the MSM covering this non-story? mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…
Fox News's website hasn't covered the controversy at all; the lead story on the site rn is an aggregation of an Axios interview with Rep. Cori Bush, a BLM activist-turned-politician who says she still uses the "defund the police" slogan. 
News judgment can be subjective, but the Cori Bush thing is just a left-wing Democrat reaffirming one of her left-wing takes. The RNC story is much more interesting, not just the disarray but the weird way that language got inserted into the resolution and passed.
Like I wrote in the Trailer (I was at the RNC meeting), the resolution was bundled with four less controversial resolutions and voted through with no debate. It's a very weird story to throw on the slush pile! washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
(To be clear I wrote that in the newsletter, but am linking to colleagues' reporting here, which advances the story.)
