Debate out of control. The Razor of the Media

A fewer days later, he interviewed Maciej Maciak on Zero channel Krzysztof Stanowski after words of admiration for Putin from Maciak interrupted the interview. He did what a writer should do, although his attitude as a double journalist/political figure is controversial. But in this case, he behaved decently, not allowing all Putin's victims to be insulted, mocking morals and common sense. Why, then, is this not the consequence from the leaders during the debate organised by the Super Express?

This incidental is not the only pebble for the "SE" debate garden. Grzegorz Braun took the liberty of full of hatred, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-European, discriminating people and views of speeches, referring to the Warsaw authorities, the Second planet War and the eventual aggression of Israel against Poland. I will not repeat this dangerous and rude nonsense, but the organizers of the debate have allowed the hatred speech to take no influence on its course. Only 2 participants (Bejat and Trzaskowski) felt outraged by his words, which shows that the boundary between freedom of speech and hatred speech is very thin and not seen by everyone. "We owe" is mostly political polarisation and the desire to usage any means (including language) against political opponents. Braun's nationalist slogans about "ukrainization" and "judalization" of Poland went to the audience – 4% of observers decided that Braun won the debate... Magdalena Biejat submitted a study on Braun's statements to the prosecutor's office, and in addition the territory Attorney's Office of Warsaw- Prague started a case of public policy. True, but knowing the dimension of proceedings, it is hard to anticipate a fast judgment. For me, there is no uncertainty that Braun is spreading hatred, but it is interesting that he has been doing it for so long and the sanctions have not come to pass. Are they equal and equal to the law?

The debate held in "SE" was an abdication of journalists, a withdrawal from the positions they professionally hold: organizers, moderators and discussion controllers. Newralgic fields were given to politicians by passively observing events without affecting their course. This is inactive something fresh in Polish debates and in Polish journalism. We have been outraged many times as an environment, that journalists take the function of stand under the microphone, and this time many journalists felt that everything was OK, that it made the debate interesting and fresh. They forgot that in this way they agreed to a narration of politicians about themselves and alternatively of answering hard questions, we received a set of common attacks, in which the most crucial was who would hit individual harder. In fact, specified a debate could be organised by politicians themselves and could only invitation the media to it. And the function of “leading” to convey artificial intelligence. In the "SE" debate, “Super Express” was won by politicians, but journalism was defeated.
