I’m Pole. It’s not that bad as it sounds. We had far right government (PiS) during last 8 years. They were using public media for their populist propaganda. You may think “now opposition is trying to do the same and push their own propaganda” but before the PiS was elected, current government (PO) was in charge for 8 years straight too. The public media were quite reliable that time.

As some proof that it changed for worse when PiS governed you can see . It shows how much time did politics from certain parties have in public TV channels: TVP INFO, TVP1, TVP2. “Styczeń” is January. On the left hand side you have year January 2014 (the year before PiS was elected), on the right hand side you have January 2018, a year before PiS was elected for another 4 year term. Dark navy blue is PiS, orange is PO. When PO was in charge the TV time for political parties was proportional to their share in parliament. When PiS took over, majority of the time was occupied by PiS despite they had only slight advantage over PO.

I’m watching current events with curiosity and hope we won’t have propaganda anymore in public media.
