The best way to do it is not to watch it

Well, some troubled minority like to watch lies and propaganda so they watch TVN, after all they have rights to do it.

So don't watch in that case. This is a free country. Your wife and kids might be a bit upset because that's where most of the interesting programs are. Or maybe you don't have any family ? It does seem that most of the posters on here with your kind of views tend to be single guys.

You underestimate the power of the media, today minority, tomorrow majority, all possible with a good dose of brainwashing.

Funnily it seems to be the other way round, unless you want to consider someones cats their family?

I don't underestimate it but what can you do about it, bring up an anti-fake news law? it would be impossible.

At 3:33:

"Welcome to apolish In"

"Ummm... Good Day,"

They should hire me instead, even as an analyst role, as both these guys sucked. They cant even talk and all they bark is a bunch of propaganda.

Fact as a tabloid is not too reliable. :):) I prefer broad sheet stuff.

As for Western News, I don`t know it.

don`t know it.

Dziennik Zachodni is a regional newspaper in Katowice. Known to me since my youth.

A headline from Gazeta Wyborcza:
Defense policy of PiS: Prime Minister deters enemy choppers with his military shirt.
hahahaha Funny.
Indeed, PiS scored a series if failures when it comes to defending Polish skies. Last year it was a Russian mock missile which flew over half Poland and they couldn`t find it, a few weeks ago Belarussian balloons, a few days ago their choppers. Losers!

Come on, show some sense of humour! Once a month at least? hahahaha
Their headlines are very innovative and humorous. Simply speaking, by intelligent people for intelligent people.

their commie agenda

Gazeta Wyborcza came into being in 1989, during the so called Spring of Nations, established by anticommunist Solidarity opposition.

I still remember one from 1990s which was a headline of a short news piece about the popularity of German owned magazines like Tina, Bravo or Dziewczyna in Poland. It said: Bravo Tina, gut Dziewczyna. Are you able to grasp the humour in it???

Real bad loosers .

You probably mean "losers".

Aren't they still the biggest selling quality newspaper here? Certainly the most respected. I'd prefer if they had more crime stories though; in Poland, quality newspapers seem to think that reporting grisly crimes is beneath them.

established by anticommunist

Indeed, though I suspect Ironside calls anything 'commie' if it doesn't match his own particular viewpoint.

This thread was started in 2011. It is 2023 now, and Polish journalism is as bad as it has ever been.

It is funny that Kania continues to debate me on this subject, when this very thread is proof that Polish media is sh!t.

Reasons:

1) Myopic viewpoint - everything from Poland's regional perspective. Understandable, perhaps, but a disservice to the loyal readers.

2) Incredibly partisan. I feel like I am reading American papers, in the level to which things are presented as black and white depending on who you are reading.

3) Simply poorly written, in many cases. I do not pretend to be some Polish literary critic, most often needing a dictionary to read a paragraph, but I get the sense that the newspapers are not exactly full of the brightest Polish language graduates from the Jagiellonian. I don't learn many new words, or much of anything new from reading Polish newspapers. Polish newspapers make me feel like I already understand enough Polish.

4) Strange mix of tabloid and serious content within the same paper. Is there not enough readership for niche papers by class?

5) Connected perhaps to the above, and the general difficulty of making money by printing news in Poland, but so little original reporting. Already argued with Kania about this, and he pointed out some guy that is camped out in Ukraine. While that may be true, the absolute majority of foreign reporting articles are translations from English or German articles printed by the parent company, or some other publication.

As mentioned above, that's the opposite of what I see. Very little reportage of sensational crimes if it's a quality paper and too much part political or financial market minutiae. They seem so dry compared to the British or French ones.
