As of 22 January, The staff at Radio Poland have deleted over a hundred comments and blocked a number of it regular users with out notice or warnings from their English language Facebook page. The users who were blocked and the comments deleted all had one thing in common they took a pro Poland stand, they were critical of the media manufactured crisis in Polish Democracy and supported the PiS. No comments reflecting views that were anti-government, liberal-leftist, anti-Poland and or anti-PiS were deleted or their authors blocked. In the last two weeks numerous articles have appeared on Radio Poland English language website that were part and parcel of a PO sponsored propaganda campaign to overthrow a government elected by a clear majority of the voting public. The editorial tone of numerous articles is designed to convey a message to the English speaking media that PiS rules without public support and it actions are illegitimate. Radio Poland is a a publicly funded body that has been hijacked by PO supporters in an effort to attack the government. This must be stopped!

The point that's being missed here is that private media is exactly that and the ownership can and does make editorial policies, if you own it you have the final word. But the public media in Poland is something altogether different, if you are payed by the tax payer you need to be neutral and professional. Radio Poland English service is not, by any stretch of the imagination they are neither profession or neutral, they have undertaken editorial policies following the narrative of the defeated PO acting as brazen propagandists. This is a breach of trust with respect to their employment and if action is taken against they should understand that they are the authors of their own predicament.
