“Editor, do you feel limited? Here’s one TVN mic, here’s the second, third, and fourth. Well, I don’t know if this is a restriction on media freedom, you can add the fifth and sixth, I encourage you, I will have no problem answering the fifth and sixth,” government spokesman Piotr Müller told the TVN journalist during a press conference.
Press conference question
TVN journalists always flock to press conferences of government or ruling party representatives. They often behave a bit aggressive towards politicians, they also often ask questions that are not very related to the topic of the conference.
This time a representative of TVN asked about the statement of the chairman of PiS about the statement of several dozen editors. Can they really be treated as a “pre-election trick”?
Editor, do you feel limited? Here’s one TVN mic, here’s the second, third, and fourth. Well I don’t know if this is a media freedom restriction can you add the fifth and sixth I encourage you I won’t have a problem answering the fifth and sixth
a government spokesman replied.
“Thank you, I bow to the 5 microphones of TVN”
The TVN journalist then asked Müller to tell Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński that he had invited him to the program some time ago.
Very kind of you, thank you sir
the government spokesman replied several times.
Then there was the matter of a permit.
I don’t know, it’s not me who decides on this, maybe the National Broadcasting Council. Tell me, then who gives the concessions?
Muller asked.
KRRiT
replied the journalist.
And the National Broadcasting Council is subordinate to the government or not? It is an independent, constitutional institution. Just like appointed judges or the Human Rights Commissioner. The ombudsman has also been elected by the Sejm and what do you think we have influence over the ombudsman these days? Thank you, I bow to TVN’s five microphones
said a government spokesman.
