The GMA Network anchors and its reporters — save for some snide remarks by a guest commentator on her take of senatorial candidates who appear to have won the polls, but whom obviously she did not care for.
To cite an example, even as the top six senatorial candidates are fairly sure winners, she comes up to state that there were so many “good” candidates who should have won, not those who have not done anything.
There was too, the clear offensive remark from this guest commentator who made a crack about the Marcoses winning the race in the senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial race, dredging up the old issues that had been at the forefront in 1986.
Still, hers was clearly reflective of the attitude of the usual civil socialites, who without a doubt, will be around Sen. Noynoy Aquino, just as they surrounded his mother during her presidency.
There were other remarks too, from one or two GMA anchors, saying that perhaps the people have forgotten Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile’s martial law role under Ferdinand Marcos, as well as the remark of one who said there was new generation of voters who have forgotten the past.
Why can’t these civil socialites ever keep the past alone? One of the reasons we have never progressed as a nation is the fact that our leaders keep on harking back to the past instead of going forward.
Martial law was decades ago. Why keep going back to it? We would have gone from a dictatorship to a strong democracy too, if the same civil socialites did not destroy democracy when they mounted the coup d’etat against a popularly elected president — and all because they did not like him, and wanted one of their kind to sit in power.
And even then, despite the corruption and transactional politics that their anointed engaged in, they kept silent, because Gloria Arroyo was their president. And chances are, the same will occur again, with silence reigning again, should their anointed be proclaimed.
On the media coverage of GMA-7, it wasn’t just the hologram presentations featured in its coverage of the polls that its coverage was better. It was the network not being perceived by the public as being too partial on certain national candidates.
ANC, and presumably, ABS-CBN, were clearly a disappointment as up till the last minute, their stations’ plugs featuring celebrities were clearly partisan even if they did not mention any candidates’ names.
But the message was clearly in favor of presidential candidate, Noynoy Aquino, as the message was focused on change — which is the campaign spiel of Aquino.
Even the ANC anchors tended to favor Aquino, during the coverage.
Then too, there never was a doubt that the TV network did its all to push the Aquino candidacy throughout the campaign period — official and otherwise.
Ads from a rival candidate were bumped off, and its preffered presidential candidate’s ads — which was a circumvention of the number of ads that can be put up by a candidate — were all over its airlanes.
For a media entity, ABS-CBN lost a lot of its credibility as far as impartiality in a media establishment went, because it clearly favored one candidate much too blatantly, even in past coverages and programs to the point of bringing out the negatives in rival candidates while showing only the positive news about Aquino.
GMA-7 at least, in the election coverage, did not appear to favor any one national candidate, which should be the norm in such election coverages. But both networks, along with the PPCRV, failed in responsibly releasing the precinct count, without, however, saying from where these precincts come from, thus trending the results.

naniniwala naman kayo sa sarili ninyong praise release?
Kawawang mga kapuso!
@ anonymous: ikaw ang mas kaawa-awa hindi ang mga “Kapuso”. At sa susunod huwag ka magbabasa ng mga sinasabi mong “praise-release” ng GMA7. Walang humihingi ng opinion mo dito!!! Pwede!!! ^_^
KAPAMILYUCKS KA NATURAL NA..ONE SIDED KA LNG…D MO NAKIKITA ANG GNDA NG pagbabalita ng gma news and PUBLIC AFFAIRS…NA TLGANG NO.1
Yes. The GMA network indeed has the so called credibility. And in the small periods of time I accidentally looked and watched abs cbn’s news it appears to me that there’s something bias in the way they deliver the news and the choice of what the show broadcasts.
Tama nga ang sinabi ng isang tao sa news. Na marami pa din ang nagboboto na di kilala masyado ang ibinoboto nila. Tipong exposed masyado sa media and all kaya yun ang choice nila. In other words, there are still people who are not voting wisely.
GMA News and Public Affairs…
The Best! Keep up the good work!
SIKAT mga reporters sa GMA7!
Ang mga reporters ng network mo ba, eh sikat din?
mga bobong pinoy purket nasa abs cbn c kris maka noynoy na ang abs cbn? try nio lng na tumakbo si mike enriquez….tignan natin reaction ng lahat. pero i doubt kung may ganung kalakas na impact ang taga syete!
Ang isyu dito ay hindi lang network war o sa terminolgy na HOLOGRAM… Kundi ang panloloko ng GMA sa karaniwang manonood just to gain advantage to the ratings game. Buti ang mga nakapag aral… hindi basta mauuto, eh paano ang majority ng viewers nila? Na alam naman natin na karaniwang Pentium 1 ang utak… kaya madaling ma brainwash…Ang dami dami nilang researchers, sasabihin ninyo nalito lang? Aist kalokohan na nga ang istasyon nyo, kalokohan pa din kayo!
Gusto lumevel sa CNN at ginagawang telepantasya ang News… inuna pa ang yabang ayan tuloy ang napala… kaunaunahan daw sa telebisyon ng Pilipinas! Uu nga kaunaunahang pekeng hologram sa telebisyon sa Pilipinas! Hindi nyo rin pwedeng sabihin na hindi peke dahil ang unang kiniclaim na Hologram Technology ay malayong malayo sa HOLOGRAM PA-EPEK na tinatawag nyo ngayon!
Kung kredibilidad lang naman… paano naging credible ang isang istasyon na nagsisinungalling sa kanyang mga manonood… natural na may mga partidong magsasabi ng bias dahil di nila makuha ang media mileage na gusto nila… SWS, Pulse Asia na ang nagsabi… ABS-CBN ang pinagkakatiwalaan ng mas maraming Pilipino sa coverage…

I just cited a source at ayon un SWS, Pulse Asia at Manila Standard… survey yun bago ang hahalalan… kaya wag kang magngangawa siguro magnigay ka na lang ng source mo kung saan nga sinasabi na pinagkakatiwaaan ang istasyon mo? O baka naman praise release na naman sasabihin mo tulad ng sa Reader’s Digest… bakit di mo masabi na pareho lang sila ng GMA na nakakuha ng Gold… Lol! Yan ang sinasabi ko mga kapupu! Ang kalahating katotohanan ay hindi katotohanan. Bangittin mo pa Reader’s Digest eh ka tie lang ng ABS-CBN sa gold award ang GMA!
Don’t pity me… seriously don’t… dahil kung meron mang kaawa awa dito ay ikaw.. na isang ANONYMOUS na nagtatalak. Ikaw ang isang ehemplo ng istasyon mo ng makitid na pag-iisp. Niloloko na ang mga manonood pinagtatanggol pa!
KAPAMILYUCK? Hahaha mga kapuso talaga oh! Talagang Kapus-oh! Mga kapupu, kung meron mang yuck walang iba kundi ang PUPU!
At kahit kailan hindi mali ang itama ang kasinungalinga at panliliit sa pag-iisip ng mga manonood. Dapat nga kayong mga kapuso ang mas mag react… minamaliit ang utak ninyo ng GMA! Alam kasing madali kayong utuin… buti na lang kami hindi! Ang layo kaya ng HOLOGRAM at EFFECT! Hahaha kung kayo tanggap ninyo… talagang nagpapakita nga ng pagiging Pentium 1 ng pag-iisip ng Mga kapupu!
One more thing, ang PANLOLOKO, kahit anong PAGTATAKIP… PANLOLOKO PA RIN YUN! Bakit tatawagin mong Hamon ang tocino kung tocino lang naman talaga! Ganun lang kasimple yun… Bakit tatawagin mong HOLOGRAM ang PA-EPEK kung talagang PA-EPEK lang naman yun! Isang Panloloko!
at isang bagay… anong pinagsasabi mong talo? Paanong nanalo ang kasinungalingan at panglilinlang! Kung yan ang panalong gusto mo… iyong iyo na hahaha! Ang sa amin lang ay ipinagtatanggol namin ang mga manonood. Dahil hindi kami lahat katulad ninyo na gamunggo lang ang utak… Hindi nga network war ang issue dito eh… kundi ang panloloko sa mga Pilipinong manonood! Isang malaking insulto sa media at sa mga Pilipino ang ginawa ng GMA! Ang pinagmamayabang na kauna-unahan sa kasaysayan ng Telebisyon sa Pilipinas ay isanng PEKE! Tsk tsk tsk! At yan ang tatak Kapuso na Serbisyong TOTOO daw! Hahahaha!

ahmmmmmmmmm HOLOGRAM………… ehhhhh PALAGI NAMANG SINASBI NG GMA NA “HOLOGRAM EFFECT” eh HND HOLOGRAM na 100% HOLOGRAM………. bkt ang CNN may HOLOGRAM RIN BA???? HOLOGRAM EFFECT DIN ANG SAKANILA…………..
HOLOGRAM EFFECT- make a person look like in a hologram in TV but you need a special device to do this…..
bti nga ang GMA MAY HOLOGRAM EFFECT at maganda sa mata ito it gives enjoyment sa tao kasi even it is not true we know people that little by little we can use the HOLOGRAM alone……………
at nag papaka bitter nga kio eh kasi panay world of an art ang gmit ng GMA in giving news to people eh jajaja mga bitter na ABIAS jajaja………
kung may bagong DEVICE ang GMA ang hilig niong manira then KIO naman ang next na kukuha ng device na yun…….. ANO YUN CRAB-MENTALITY!!! bkt nd nio naman alam gamtin ang TOUCH SCREEN nio ah……. jajaja…. ewwwwwwwwww ABIAS TLGA!!!!!!!!!
Kung talagang Kapuso ka, alam na alam mo dapat na during Election coverage na ang tawag nila ay HOLOGRAM TECHNOLOGY, ginamit na lang nila ang term na HOLOGRAM EFFECT nung nabuking na sila! Hindi mo alam yun? O Katulad ng GMA na nagpapalusot ka? hahaha! Hindi rason na maganda (kuno) sa mata eh dahilan na para gawing mangmang ang mga manonood. Ikaw na rin ang nagbanggit ng sa CNN, dapat natuto na sila dahil binatikos din ang CNN, pero pinili pa din nila ulitin baka nga naman makauto! Kung meron mang bitter dito ay walang iba kundi ang mga kapupu, dahil kung anu-anong paratang wala namang prueba… Bias ba? Itanong mo yan sa istasyon mo kung wala talagang kinikilingan, kung bakit umalis ang Probe at si Bernadette Sembrano? Di ba dahil prinoprotektahan ang dating chairman ng PAGCOR! At speaking of di marunong gumamit ng touch screen, search mo sa youtube ang pagamit ni Mel Tianco ng touchscreen para magkaalaman na!
Puro dakdak naka anonymous naman! Di mo ba kaya panindigan ang pagiging kapuso mo hahhaha!
