Coverage of North Carolina

Almost a day has passed since Dan Bishop won the special election to Congress in North Carolina.  For weeks leading up to the election the media told us that the Democrat would win.  It was a referendum on Trump and Trump was losing.  Then came the election.  The GOP candidate won by a rather standard margin for an open seat.  So what's today's standard headline?  Here's CNN:

GOP's narrow North Carolina victory is bad news for Trump in 2020

Except it wasn't a narrow victory.  It was pretty much what one would expect for an open seat.  it was also won by the GOP by a bigger margin than they led in 2018.  So nothing much has changed.  The media just can't tell the truth, though.
