CNA's Horrendous coverage of election results. When are they going to learn?

Confuseous

1. I thought the entire programme was quite poorly planned, and I think it boiled down to the lack of content as a result of the amount of time made available (the broadcast started at 2100h, and the results were only announced at 2230h). Shifting the special feature to a later slot might have been more effective, which could hence reduce the need for repetitive commentaries, questions or video clips, as well as the incessant inclusion of advertisement breaks.

2. Dr. Gillian Koh’s performance was rather underwhelming. The newscasters have to assume responsibility for rehashing questions of little value, but Dr. Koh’s perspectives were mere monotonous summaries of what had gone on over the past week. CNA could consider two proposals to address the concern of guests in general: first, to invite two individuals who might be slightly partisan to air their views, so as to generate some form of dynamism and synergy in the exchanges; second, to have guests postulate future scenarios, and to think about how different results might yield varying outcomes.

They will never learn as long as they are a monopoly and not having to fight for viewership like other independent media companies have to.

Very boring .No incentive to improve viewship because only one TV station in Singapore i.e.MediaCorpse.
Very monotonous.Always invite either the por-lum-par professor Eugene Tan or chow-chee-bye Gillian Koh on national TV as political observer.
All the independent political observers/analysts dead already in Singapore ?
Even when WP Png Eng Huat wins,they are like not happy like that always talking about the loser PAP Desmond Choo.
KNNCCB to Channel News Asia !!!!!!!!!!

only good thing to watch the CNA during elections is to see the euphoria of opp supporters on national TV...and the plastic reaction of the losers....

i think our news media should give the unconfirmed result earlier. what time did CNA first gave any unconfirmed result? the Chinese radio and Channel 8 only gave it close to 10pm. the unconfirmed result ( WP 14K, PAP 9K - pretty accurate ) was first released on internet at 9pm.

why is it so important what the mass media does?

It's a business. They are not obliged to their viewers, only to whoever's funding them.
