After 1989, the largest media in its entirety was taken over by the post-communist camp in the broadest sense of the word. This camp included not only the erstwhile secretaries of the Polish People's Republic of Poland and the “elity” of the Polish People's Republic, but besides a crucial part of the licensed oppositionists who in Czesław Kiszczak saw “the man of honour” and in Wojciech Jaruzelski the national hero. The first “non-communist” president of TVP was Andrzej Dravicz, a secret associate of SB. Around the same time it was created ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ and de facto monopolized the press market.
The 2 largest private televisions were besides created by erstwhile SB collaborators. First, in 1992, Polsat owned by Zygmunt Soloż (Kroka, Żaka) was awarded the concession nickname TW Zeg. 4 years later, the concession was granted to TVN station belonging to the ITI group owned by Mariusz Walter TW Mewa and Jan Wejchert TW Konarski. Both televisions had and inactive have a left-liberal profile, and TVN additionally became a storehouse of "talents" of appropriate origin. Children and grandchildren of communist safety personnel are the backbone of these "free media". Monika Olejnik, daughter of Colonel SB, is the biggest star of TVN, no little known is Piotr Kraśko, grandson of an SB officer, or Andrzej Mrozowski boy of a advanced safety officer and many, many others.
Given the conditions under which media was created in Poland, who broadcast and received concessions, it is hard to be amazed at the frustration of the right hand, which has been contesting this manipulative image of reality for years. But the problem is that Despite many opportunities, the right could not make serious competition for the left-liberal monopoly. Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, the most ardent critic of the popular “Father of the Director” said even that he had created an empire. Of course, there is simply quite a few exaggeration in this, although the Toruń media company has a wide scope of resources: Our Journal, tv Trwam, Radio Maryja and even a higher media college, which is awesome on paper. Unfortunately, the full "Rydzyk empire", in practice, cannot compare to Polsat or TVN, among another things, due to the fact that tv Trwam was created only in 2003 and is simply a profiled – spiritual station.
In fresh times, the youngest of all mentioned television, due to the fact that it was created in 2013. tv Republika is 1 of the media created and owned by Tomasz Sakiewicz, which has caused much controversy from the beginning. Like “Gazeta Polska” and “Gazeta Polska Daily” tv The Republic was based on a sharp right-wing message, and 1 of the main topics was the Smolensk disaster. From 2013 to 2015 it was possible to talk about any progress, but from 2015 to 2023 Sakiewicz's tv passed a violent convention despite multimillion grants received from the ruling PiS party. The generous government sponsorship besides included another media by Tomasz Sakiewicz, employees walking without payouts anyway.
After 2023 there was a real miracle, a forceful takeover of TVP by Donald Tusk's crew led to mass transfers from TVP to tv Republic. On a wave of social emotions, skillfully fueled by tv Republic, the station got a second life. This time, the money started flowing across a wide stream not from the rulers, but from advertisers and viewers, constantly attacked by aggressive “patriotic” marketing. tv editors Republika constantly urge viewers to contribute to subsequent collections to cover the acquisition of equipment and it took specified a grotesque form that it became the object of mockery on social networks. She besides had tv Republic her glory days, especially after holding presidential debates, but she inactive has 2 serious problems: deficiency of objectivity and deficiency of credibility.
The fact is that specified allegations can be made to all media, but right-wing media tend to transmit highly impotent propaganda and this offends the most. For respective days tv Republic has announced sensational work material called "Tusk tapes". The release date was translated respective times and the "material" was yet sold into instalments. After the first episode there was mass disappointment, the second episode bored and the 3rd caused global embarrassment. And it's truly hard to be amazed erstwhile Sakiewicz's station went down to this level.

Looking at the past of Poland after 1989, the right can find many arguments to justify the advantage of liberal-left media, but its own and so cardinal mistakes will not cover. Jacek Kuroń erstwhile said: "Don't smoke PZPR committees, build your own." Tomasz Sakiewicz He virtually treated this appeal and built tv in the image and resemblance of TVN, and worse in the Augustine edition. specified people will never make a work to measurement expectations, due to the fact that their only motivation is simply a fast profit made on tack, like in the tv Shop, where you push weight failure money without getting up from the couch.
