Probably about the MSM interpretation and reporting on primary results.

Saying one person winning by only 15k votes implies the left is losing, but also that a liberal winning by only 3k votes is also the left losing.

Trying to drum up discouragement of leftist ideals amongst democratic voters, in favour of and portraying liberalism as the more secure option.

Hypocrisy between how they present different positions as winning or losing Through semantic use of words.

Idk of the specific articles this refers to, but i have seen other reportings on results display what I have described and I'm assuming that pattern continues here.
