Anna spilled oil, TVPiS days are numbered. On this occasion, it is worth recalling what we will lose as a result, the most spectacular moments when, wiping our eyes with amazement, we shouted “this is really?!”
10. Red Face Tusk
Surely, you have wondered “why does he have specified a red face?” any of you may have been talking to the individual with whom she was sitting in front of the screen “I think Tusk's politics are bad”, individual else began to adjust the tv or monitor. However, the guilty was a peculiar red filter applied by tv to the KO leader's face.
Why? To make Tusk look more dangerous. due to the fact that a red face is associated with anger. Or the devil. To emphasize this association of TVP so frame Red Tusk against the background of the Platform logo, so that the grin entered in the Polish contour with the logo looks like sticking out of Tusk's head devil horns.
Against the background of a series of manipulations, hounds and pranks of TVP, Tusk's red face may seem trivial, but the simplicity of the procedure combined with his ostentatically primitive propaganda intent and shameless foolishness and consistency in application make him worthy of being listed.
9. Christian Paul
In 2020 TVP She has been very active in the presidential campaign. She not only attacked Trzaskovsky and praised Duda (see points 6 and 3), but besides the first woman Agata Duda. Just before the first circular of elections MessageAnd they're emitting footage of the presidential wife. "In comparison to Melania Trump, both first ladies stand out internationally by their character and first style," the young man signed on the Christian Paul bar.
How fast determined Agata Jawsniak from Oko.press, with Christian Paul there is 1 problem – everything indicates that they created him News. Google asked about Paul sends back to the Australian watch brand, and Linkedin has an account looking like Paul Christian Farbanec. Later it turned out that Paul/Farbaniec actually owns a fashion website, however, operating mostly in Poland. Which does not truly let to represent him as an "American designer".
Again, the full thing is trivial, but the effort to make Chistian Paul from nothing and surrealize the full situation deserves to be appreciated.
8. Fort Trump in Insurrection Square
Donald Trump can only want he could talk Polish. If he knew in hard times after losing the 2020 election, contact with TVP Info and News He'd be relieved.
TVP turned out to be the most faithful of the faithful Trump media. To the end, it reported that the vote counting was ongoing, and Trump could win, refused to accept Biden's victory.
One can say that although military Fort Trump has never been created in Poland, in November 2020 in Warsaw Insurgent Square, where TVP Info is located and where present a group of journalists with PiS politicians defend "free media", tv was created. erstwhile it was clear that Trump had lost the election, TVP reproduced uncritically the communicative from the lost president's camp of "irregularities" and even "falsifications", without verifying their veracity – although even from the right-wing Fox News it was possible to learn that they had rather a weak basis.
The narration of the forgery was besides presented by TVP-hosting experts. Related to KUL, Grzegorz Górski argued that in the United States we are dealing with a coup d'état, whose aim is to put “not even Biden but Kamali Harris” in the White House. 1 might wonder if president Duda, incapable to congratulate Biden on average congratulations, OD'd on our media fort Trump.
7. Doctors' voyages
In 2017, there is simply a protest by resident doctors. The Law and Justice doesn't want to meet their demands, so the attacks on doctors are being attacked by written media. An article by Ziemowit Piasta Kossakowski is then published on TVP Info, summarizing the wage demands of young doctors with photos of their vacation trips to exotic places. The message was clear: doctors travel around the world, and inactive few.
As it shortly turned out, in at least 1 case – Dr. Katarzyna Pikulska – photos from Tanzania and Kurdistan came from medical missions, on which the doctor went on free leave in Poland. erstwhile the fight began, TVP Info fired Kossakowski, and TVP's head, Samuel Pereira, apologized to the doctor.
However, at the trial that Pikulska brought to Kossakowski station, he testified that he was following orders from Pereira and publisher Tomasz Owsiński, who were to give him the materials and had them compose without verification. Pereira denied it.
Regardless of the truth, TVP's management assumes work for material appearing on the portal, based on the search of doctors' accounts on social media in search of “compromising” photos. After all, even if Pikulska went to Kenya privately, it would not change the assessment of this material, which looks like the execution of an order for a conflicted group with the government.
6. "Jewish philosopher Spinoz"
As expected, before the presidential election, TVP regularly attacked Rafał Trzaskowski. 1 of the main topics was the failure of the Warsaw Tchaika treatment plant.
Trzaskowski News However, they besides attacked from the side from which fewer people expected: philosophical. All thanks to the message of the president of Warsaw from the interview for “Gazeta Wyborcza”, erstwhile asked what he believes, he replied: “in God Spinoza”.
Subject substance News They rotation for 2 nights. They emphasizethat Spinoza is simply a judaic philosopher, and in addition even the Jews considered heretic. Expert, Dr. hab. Paweł Skrzydlewski of KUL, defines Spinoza's views as "absurd". He points out that Spinoza's doctrine “man doesn't request Christys, he idolizes himself” and observes that if Trzaskowski believes that he is “out of the Church”.
In combination with at the same time at News information about Trzaskowski as a Soros scholarship holder and associate of the Bilderberg Group meetings, Spinoza arranges in anti-Semitic innuendo. Yeah. interprets This is the author of the magazine “Midrasz”, Piotr Paziński: “To tv propagandists Spinoz became [...] a kind of judaic patch. Propagandists from TVP to win for Duda elections [...] did not hesitate to usage the judaic card – to detest the candidate in the eyes of voters. To tell them: we did not find out that Trzaskowski himself is simply a parchute, but look, he believes in a god invented by a certain scab. It means that he is simply a lousy man and should not become president of real Poles.”
5. Rachon about the judges
TVP has persistently accompanied the PiS in attacks on judges. For this intent even a peculiar documentary series was created CasteWhere propaganda cuts in attacks on 3rd power were collected by Miłosz Kleczek. However, it is not the production that deserves peculiar distinction, but the monologue on the judges that Michał Rachoń presented in July 2017 in the programme "It passed 20"
Let us callback that 3 Ziobra judicial laws were issued in Parliament at the time, and on the streets in defence of free courts were demonstrated by the crowds, and yet 2 of the 3 resolutions were vetoed by president Duda. Rachoń presented the dispute in Poland:
"Communist courts and safety murdered tens of thousands of Polish heroes fighting the occupier: unbreakable soldiers, heroes of the year 56, 70, 76 [...] The same people in 89 abruptly began to call themselves “invisible judges” and became guardians of the circular Table agreement. Their environment was to clear itself, but from the regional courts to the ultimate Court and the Constitutional Court there were inactive collaborators of communist safety and people with the blood of Polish heroes on their hands. Their children were promoted in the structures of the lawlessness strategy for 30 years III of Poland [...]. This strategy is falling apart. [...] Will July 2017 be the date erstwhile Poles will regain democratic control of the justice strategy for the first time since the Soviets entered Poland?’
Nothing here makes sense. The bill to subject the courts to manual control is presented as a final trial with Stalinism. Judges, frequently wholly educated after ’89 as heirs—if not biologically, mental—judges liable for the judicial crimes of the post-war repression period. Modern courts, if they virtually treat what Rachoń said, would be mastered by communist hawks reproducing in subsequent generations.
Of course, literature has its rights, it allows exaggeration and thought abbreviations. However, Rachonia's discourse does not fit even within the limits of the publicist exaggeration, it is an innuendo constructed like a conspiracy discourse, creating an alternate reality.
4. Für Deutchland
Surely this could not have been missed. Especially considering how frequently this subject was repeated in the TVP transmission. In any periods, it was hard to find a week where Tusk would not talk in News ‘für Deutschland’.
These words came from Tusk's speech before CDU delegates – German chadetia, belonging to the European People's organization (EPP) – from January 2021, erstwhile Tusk was chair of the EPP. In this speech, the leader of KO calls CDU governments "a benevolence not only for Germany but besides for Europe". Hence ‘für Deutchland’, or ‘for Germany’, cut by News.
Of course, this context was not curious in TVP. "Für Deutchland" was shown completely out of context, repeated over and over again to encode a combination in the minds of viewers: Tusk is simply a politician working not for Poland, but for Germany, a man of Berlin. Although the celebrated “für Deutschland” Tusk said only once, it is the constant repetition of this message in News It may have created the impression that politics usage this phrase more frequently than Grzegorz Braun utilized the phrase "God's happiness".
That is how Jarosław Kaczyński interpreted it. little than a week before the election, he spoke of Tusk in Przysdrusz: “He was pro-German, pro-German, and again pro-German. “Für Deutschland”, or “for Germany”, said these words very often.” Fear to think what effect a akin transmission of TVP might have on little prominent minds than the president's.
3. Duda in Phenian
The 2020 presidential run provides many materials for this compilation. But on the forehead material by Maciej Sawicki of 24.06.2020. We see the meetings of Andrzej Duda with voters. The Lektor reads: “Cities, municipalities, and villages, millions of people, many crucial topics. And 1 common goal." At this point, Andrzej Duda appears on the screen and says: “I am moving so that no 1 can take us back 5 years.”
In the following part, the talker gives the following slogans: "Duma" – we see the president waving to the Highlanders; "dignity" – the boy on the street thanks the president for 500+, "esteem" – the old woman in the moher beret says that thanks to the carer she has something to eat, "keeping her word." The Lektor reads Duda's promises and the crowd chants “our president!” and “first turn!”. At the end of Duda convinces the Highlanders that if he loses, “they will introduce abroad values to us and yet convince us that they are better than ours.” And this is evidently not true, because, as the president concludes, "ours are good, the best and tested."
The material has absolutely zero information value. We don't learn anything about Dud or his run or the Poles supporting him. We simply receive the electoral material of 1 candidate given as news in the news programme. This is simply a mockery of any standards of the media.
The material is made in addition to the uplifting-people style, combining the worship of the familiarity and the worship of the presidential unit in a manner associated with the propaganda of the authoritarian systems of the 20th century. Today, a akin transmission is actually only found in North Korea. TVP's comparison to Kim Jong Un's tv show rapidly appeared on social media. They even featured pictures of Dutch Danuta in a conventional Korean outfit. In Sawicki's material, what started as a satirical redraw became a body.
2. Breyza SMSes
25.08.2019, just before the parliamentary election, TVP portal. Info publishes Article"Don't get into a discussion, pat [comments]". Brejza instructions for hatred department by Samuel Pereira. He suggested that in 2014-15 Brejza led a group of haters active in the local politics of Inowrocław and the surrounding area, he besides attempted to link politics with the alleged invoice scandal in Inowrocław City Hall.
The material contained fragments of text messages from MP Brejz's phone, then the chief of staff of KO, realized that he had to be watched, which was to disorganize the work of his staff.
Brejza sued TVP, on Monday the territory Court in Bydgoszcz almost entirely acknowledged him. The public broadcaster is to apologise to Breja, among another things, for being “attributed to him, not to him but to him” and that his statements to various individuals are presented as being addressed to a single group of persons to make the impression that “the politician was active in illegal activities”. The court besides found that messages from Breyza's telephone were obtained as a consequence of the illegal application of Pegasus' spy program.
A alternatively frightening image emerges from this: the state illegally uses a sophisticated spy program against the head of the opposition party's chief of staff, and then public media manipulate the information thus acquired to compromise this policy.
1. run against Paul Adamovich
In the 2018 general election, the PiS did not seem to number on the reflection of large cities, defending the presidents as to TVP standards, so they were treated rather gently. The exception was the president of Gdańsk, Paul Adamovich. The president of Gdańsk attacked both local and nationwide TVP, trying to present as a corrupt policy, entangled in obscure interests, linked to the "Trymieścy layout" and its scandals – e.g. Amber Gold.
Łukasz Sitek, a writer regularly harassing – due to the fact that that is how it should be assessed – Adamowicz. Grid running for Adamowicz and he accused him with questions specified as “why do you support the arrangement?” or “where is the money from Amber Gold?”.
The Media Ethics Council, examining material from 2018, stated: “In no of the publications analysed by REM gave Paul Adamowicz the chance to defy the charges, to present arguments that contradict the accusations made directly, between the lines or in titles that distort the actual course of the events described or bend facts so as to talk against the president of Gdańsk. He was the object of slander, but had no right to defend himself.”
After Adamovich's assassination, charges arose against TVP, attributing station attacks to work for the tragedy. The station responded with lawsuits. The suspect was, among others, Krzysztof Skiba and Marshal Borusewicz – who won in court. In 2022, TVP produced a documentary "You are a destructive element", suggesting that the attack on Adamowicz was not led by TVP, but by media specified as "Gazeta Wyborcza" or TVN, which "grilled" Adamowicz to aid the PO candidate run for president of Gdańsk, Jarosław Wałęsa.
If we do not measure the link between TVP propaganda and Adamowicz's assassination, it is hard to argue that a public broadcaster has crossed the border between criticism and the fabrication of hate, which no average should thus cross.
Of course, these examples can be given more. Erasing the hearts of WOŚP, Jakimovich and Najman as political commentators, materials News about Germans jealous of the Poles of prosperity, the series Reset is Yayo Studio. You guys most likely have your own types, too. TVPiS has left a very rich achievements – analysts will have work for years.
