Media and Politics

Poland has freedom of press since the fall of communism. Unfortunately TV and radio are still politically controlled, via Radio and TV Committee, currently by leftist government circles. They often use news programs in public TV as means of propaganda. For example, leader of post-communist party, Leszek Miller is interviewed on public TV more often than Prime Minister, President or Speaker of the Parliament (currently, May 2003, Miller is Prime Minister).
