UK, Ireland / Polish and Irish people are related? [137]


If I've only knew where to look for it... ;)


btw. is it a proof of good joirnalistic job when an article misspell the name of a president? It should be Kaczyński not "Kackzynski". That's quite amusing ;D

I think that Monika Olejnik is more in power than whole PiS was ever and that's PiS who should be aware of what TVN says about them, not contrary.

Teffle in Polish mentioning means mentioning and quoting means quoting. There is no linguistic mix with that two terms like in English. You should check the orginal Polish source of that verdict.

I think that even if Teffle is right, politics don't need any laws to protect their business. It's enought that they are friends with a chief redactor and eat lunch together every week...

Then sorry, I was sure that word "quoting" meaning is strict and means only to quote somebody's words not "to mention" somebody. I'm not sure then if such right really exist. If yes then it's a scandal indeed.

Teffle for me it's clear. My own words are my own property and if someone wants to use them they have to do it under my conditions. Full stop.

You can still write a libel article just not involving my words in the text. I see no problem. Just a fundamental right.

It's about misquoting and manipulation of somebody's words. Actually it's good right. I'm happy I can sue a paper if they manipulate with my words (misquoting it, editing it in manipulative manner or by using them in wrong context). IT'S NOT A CENSORSHIP! IT'S A RIGHT OF EVERY MAN AND WONAN to be sure that they words won't be manipulated. It's not aboyt censoring whole articles. You can write what you want. Just don't misquote others.

2 days ago I created a thread about ugly manipulation of German tv. Is this the kind of journalism you wish to exist freely?

The problem with Polish media is that they are non-politically objective. Some support one option while others support other option. In that case I agree with the rank of Teffle. But I wouldn't say that Polish media are censored (more than in other countries).

Also I don't think that church is a taboo in Poland. Proof: the recent scandal with the compensations for the properties of CC confiscated during communism.
