In the aftermath of March 8 2008, TV3 kept repeating general election results from Sabah and Sarawak, seemingly in denial that something big happened in the Peninsula. They preferred to transmit limited happy news amid a torrent of bad news.
The same trend is being repeated again today. In Buletin Utama produced by TV3, possibly the foremost evening news program albeit suffering from declining popularity, the ticker kept repeating news in what might be an endless loop: BN won Batang Ai in Sarawak. BN won Batang Ai. BN won Batang Ai…
No mention of the current trend in Perak and Kedah. We of course know that BN is losing big time there, just like on March 8.
