A few days ago, Rafał Woś’s powerful column was published on the Interia website. The columnist very sharply criticized the actions of Donald Tusk’s coalition. “No government in Poland came so close to descending into actual tyranny after 1989,” he noted. His text was greatly disliked by the publicist Eliza Michalik, who decided to attack Woś. She got an answer.
If PiS governs “on a whim”, what should we call the actions of their successors? Gigarym pole? Turbo rhythm? Turbo-giga-megarympact? Question number two. If Kaczyński’s party doesn’t care about ‘guarantees’ or ‘minority rights’, where (only serious proposals please!) do Ministers Sienkiewicz and Bodnar have them?
– he asked in his column Rafal Woś under the telling title: ‘The time of tyranny has come. This time it is unfortunately true.” Eliza Michalik did not like Woś’s text very much.
A model propaganda text. Inverted reality described by Orwell. A new PiS media campaign has started – 100 percent. P.S. Interia, I see, there is no verification of texts for veracity
— she wrote on the X platform Eliza Michalikwhose articles appear on naTemat.pl, among others.
Storm on the internet
Eliza Michalik’s entry caused a wave of critical reactions online.
Eliza Michalik proposes verification of journalistic texts in terms of compliance with the truth that Eliza Michalik expects. There is such a mechanism. It’s called censorship. By proposing this, Eliza Michalik only confirms the truth of the text’s statement about the threat of tyranny from the ‘law-abiding’…
Although I don’t like your column that I wrote about, I completely agree with it. THIS IS WHAT THE COLUMN IS ABOUT. This is the position of a certain columnist: he has the right to write about whatever he wants. Suggesting verification is censorship and an attempt to enforce only correct views
What’s also interesting about this is that it’s proposed by someone who has little in common with fact-based journalism
If the signal of uncomfortable television can disappear under the guise of law, then we can take another step or step. Fortunately, the year is 2024 and not 1984.
As long as they don’t check for plagiarism.
