Despite the new election law's assurance of equal coverage in the main media, government TV channels devoted more time to the pro-government parties. Protests by some parties that could not afford the high cost of TV spots and billboards mirror similar complaints in the US.
尽管新选举法规定主要媒体要对参选政党进行平等的报道，但官方电视频道还是给了政府支持者们更多的时间。有些政党由于无力支付电视和户外广告高额费用而叫苦不迭，这与美国大选中的情况倒有几分相似。
