It calls for an thought to proceed to operate the media, to defend them from the influence of politicians and to support these locals so that they are not a tube of self-government power. In fact, you could say that it's a voice crying out in the desert, due to the fact that you can't see the support out of nowhere.
The last decisions of the courts to enter the Polish tv and Polish Radio in the National Court registry in the liquidation state indicate that the alleged plan B of Minister Sienkiewicz was successful. This fundamentally ends the dispute over the current legal position of public radio and TVP companies, but it does not end the discussion about the future of these institutions, due to the fact that it will gotta wait at least until the presidential election, so that with the recently elected president, we can carry out a full improvement of media law.
We will most likely have almost a year and a half suspension, after which TVP and PR – possibly – will become truly public. Let us remember that the liquidation can be revoked at any time by the owner of the companies. The current situation in which there is no fresh media law, and the PR and TVP authorities and liquidators have mostly been appointed by politicians, inactive makes it unclear what their form will be in a fewer years.
Do I have specified a shy question? Should the informed spread of misinformation about the "Smolensk bombing" by tv allegedly inform the KRRiT's decisive response? Any penalties, investigations, suspension of concessions? Mr. Pig occupation is here! pic.twitter.com/nENebncMH1

Although TVP’s “News” present different standards of broadcasting present than during the Law and Justice period, this is not the end but the beginning of the essential changes. Can PR and TVP employees enjoy these facts? Will there be money for the functioning of public media? The subscription is to be liquidated and in the future – according to projects – replaced by the alleged audiovisual fee. Currently, the money that was to flow from a subscription to public media activities was transferred by the National Broadcasting Council to judicial deposits. The KRRiT explicitly sided with the written power and considered the acquisition of PR and TVP by the fresh power to be illegal.
However, now, after entering the KRS, if the head of KRRiT does not transfer money to media companies, he may be charged with acting against public media. TVP liquidator Daniel Gorgosz requested PLN 142 million from Świrski along with subscription fees interest. The PR besides demands over PLN 73 million from the KRRiT; The pig in this case received a prejudicial call. Will he give in? We'll see. However, the specified fact that 1 man, the “PiS”’s “talib”, is blocking the financing of public media should act as a cold shower. For years, I have been in favour of the liquidation of the KRRiT, and at least of reducing the function of president for collegiate management and of depriving politicians of influence on the selection of members of the KRRiT.
TVP and PR have so far escaped from the hatchet, due to the fact that they are likely to receive backing from the state budget in days, but a comprehensive improvement of the way public media is paid. And today's task is to limit the activities of a usurper who does not recognise public media authorities and who seem to be the media law itself. But, as the proverb says, there will come a krysk on Matysk. For exceeding the powers of a public officer, a conviction of up to 3 years is punishable. It is besides real that Swirski will face the Court of State. That pitcher's ear has already gone.
