1/ The mainstream media seem to constantly attack PiS, even though they are not the ones in power!!!!
Gazeta Polska licks their arse constantly, and they're #2 by newspapers sold. Get over it - in Poland, the media is partisan - even public TV was thoroughly manipulated by PiS into broadcasting all sorts of crap.
2/ So many people speak of the 30% of PiS supporters in Poland as whack jobs, 30% of Poland!!!! Yet the 10% who are supporting Palikot or 8% supporting SLD seem to be fine.
That's because they are fine. Have you ever seen Palikot cause Poland to get laughed at by foreigners (see also : Krakowskie Przedmiescie) - or the SLD spending more time ranting about Russians than actually opposing? Do you see people writing absolutely ridiculously insane things in the name of the SLD? No, you don't.
There's plenty of 'media' who support PiS. If you don't like what one nespaper says, buy another.
Indeed, Gazeta Polska is doing very well for itself, despite the utter garbage and constant attacks on the Government/President. The same newspaper even published "details' of Komorowski's alleged heart condition!
They should attack nobody, they should find out facts about politicians and inform public about them.
Hahaha, can you imagine, Gazeta Polska forced to tell the truth. That would be hilarious - no-one would read!
You just admitted they did attack the party who won when it was PiS, but they seem to do it less with PO.
Actually, the media is just partisan in Poland. The vast majority of media outlets are biased in some direction - nothing new there. You could start by examining TVP when it was run by that PiS nobody - they were constantly broadcasting pro-PiS propoganda.
The media generally should not be supporting any party as it goes against what the media is supposed to do, give us information, not try to convince us to see stuff like they want us to.
Yeah yeah, all very idealistic, but even in the "glory days" of Pilsudski, the media was utterly partisan. Heck, Solidarity hardly published "fair" things about the PZPR - most of it was just outright attacks on the Government of the day.
There is both pro PiS and pro PO media but the mainstream media tends to be very anti PiS, whether they are in power or the opposition.
See, PiS supporters keep claiming this, but where's your evidence for this?
Unfortunately, they tend to class anyone who publishes *anything* bad about them as being anti-PIS - and it's this hysteria that keeps them out of power. Gazeta Wyborcza didn't need to say anything when Jarek publicly said that he would punish anyone who says "wrong' things in the media - his words were enough.
