CNN does not even mention the landslide proportions of just how badly Melanie Stansbury trounced Mark Moores. If you read this article, at almost EVERY possible point where they could have pointed out how well this bodes for Ds, they go silent: https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/01/politics/new-mexico-1st-district-special-election/index.html

At least the NYT does draw out the implications: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/01/us/politics/melanie-stansbury-new-mexico-house.html
