The article you've posted is engaging in mental gymnastics and misrepresentation that I've never considered possible.
To sum up the facts:
- PiS got into power several years ago
- PiS fired all the journalists of public broadcasters and replaced them with staff they selected. Major private media corporations in poland were already closely aligned with PiS, and independent media was shut down.
- As a result, for several years all media in poland was pro-government.
Regardless of your political ideals, that's not something that happens in a working democracy.
- In the most recent election, PiS lost.
- The new government fired the employees at public broadcasters that PiS had selected.
The actions of Donald Tusk's government lead to more opinions being represented in media. Which indicates that Tusk's government provides more freedom of the press than the previous one.
