Let me start with a political reflection. Sometimes I hear that modern Polish intelligence in the company has been reading “Gazeta Wyborcza”. More – it remains before its powerful influence.
Given how politicized this average is, this influence mainly concerns views from this sphere, although the media can be primarily a business, due to the fact that the media marketplace is besides a way to make money, alternatively than a pushy policy. I don't think that diary was founded by business people. Rather, they were (and most likely inactive are) “opposition politicians” who inherited and preserved the most crucial legacy of People's Poland, where the media had propaganda tasks, i.e. they “fightd on the ideological front”, and this activity is mostly not economically linked. individual has to add to that, and that's generous, and that's only the state's means. Hence economical dependency: support must be given to those who then join the media interest. erstwhile political opponents come to power, thin years come for their media enemies. most likely this "business model" is characterized by a number of modern mediums, but that is in the margins.
It is interesting that this “Gazeta Wyborcza” bears spectacular disasters on its front. Which election defeat is supported by this average of politicians? It's impossible to count. It began with support for Tadeusz Mazowiecki in 1990 in the first general election for the office of President, who lost spectacularly to an exotic candidate in the first circular (it was Stan Tymiński – who remembers him today?). Then came the election defeat of the Democratic Union supported in the 1993 parliamentary elections. The only success, however, was the entry into the Sejm of the Union of Freedom (in 1997) and the deputy Prime Minister by little than a word of her boss – Leszek Balcerowicz, whose organization in the next election received a hard and final beating. At this age, all supported presidential candidates lost the election with only 1 exception of Bronisław Komorowski. Before he lost Donald Tusk (he was besides the favourite of this newspaper), now, already twice Rafał Trzaskowski.
The consequence is 1 to eight, counting only the presidential election. specified a blatantly inept political average educates “Polish intelligence”? A 30 - 5 - year - old road that began and failed should give them something to think about. possibly that's why our intelligent elites are in specified a low respect of the remainder of our nation, the majority of it?
And what do these debates gotta do with Polish-Russian relations? The answer is rather simple: warmly supported by the “Gazeta Wyborcza” “our war” has besides failed, the Ukrainians have “successed” us or are “ungrate” or the balance of failures is much longer.
It is worse that the costs of these failures are paid by us, invalid citizens. besides those who voted for the favourite “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The nation one more time failed to trust the elite.
