Allowing Poland into the EU was a mistake. It takes decades for a country to build up its democratic political culture. Something like this wouldn't even be conceivable in Denmark or the Netherlands.

#12Sounds like the 3rd/4th item in headlines on Democracy Now tomorrow. Censorship and facism are on the rise globally because history repeatedly shows the majority are ignorant fools and always fall for populist hate and false promises to ameliorate their discontent with scapegoats and quick-fixes.

Allowing the country to EU kind of enabled populism to gain so much voters - thanks to all the EU money going through politician's hands they (socialists) grew in power, they're the masters of the economy in Poland now and half of business in PL depends directly or indirectly on money distributed by the state. Not mentioning 100% of public administration depends on it. So i assume this is a first step to a grand fail…

TVN is American-owned station producing American-style "news". The main reason probably why this incident is getting international attention. > result of populism wave that also elected Trump in US, made Nazi party entering Bundestag in Germany That escalated quickly.
So what exactly is wrong with 'american-style' news and why it deserves a government punishment? They were fined for reporting protests agains the ruling party, but you somehow try to imply it was because they did it in american style?

So much imagination, and so many statements backed by absolutely nothing...

Weird, everything was fine when we had a pro-EU government, now we can't even sneeze without making it to the international headlines.
