Polish State TV Channel Suspended Amid Propaganda Allegations

Polish news channel TVP Info, a state-run 24-hour station, has been taken off air amid accusations of becoming too politicized and serving as a propaganda outlet for the right-wing Law and Justice party. The move, which also involved the sacking of public media authorities, has sparked anger and claims of illegal actions reminiscent of communist times. The new prime minister, Donald Tusk, has pledged to create more balanced media channels, but critics argue that this move is a step towards dictatorship.

"Poland's Media Shake-Up: Government Dismisses Public Media Chiefs and Halts News Channel Broadcasting"

The management of Polish public television, radio, and news agency PAP have been dismissed by the culture ministry, and one public news channel, TVP Info, known for its alleged political bias, has gone off the air. Critics claim that state-run media, particularly TVP Info, served as a propaganda outlet during the previous government's tenure. The new government aims to create more balanced stations. The signal of TVP Info was replaced by the first channel of public television, and its website was also taken down. The dismissal of public media authorities has been criticized as a violation of the law, while politicians from the previous government appeared at the headquarters of public television to "defend democracy."
